I found wmii counter-intuitive, but that was way back, I have no idea
what it looks like today.  Abaco seemed nearer to my existing habits.
Again, I have not made extensive use of it, but the impression was
quite strong.

What I think swings my choice to Abaco is that it is Plan 9 native.
Others may well feel the exact opposite.
