The two things (besides the obvious slimness) I like about AS, that I
can get nowhere else, save FVWM(2), is partial panning of the virtual
desktop and clickable cascading menus that stay put.
For the first, I have mine set up so that when my cursor bumps into
the screen edge, the "viewport" shifts over 20%, after a brief delay.
The second is as opposed to, say, Gnome, where, as you traverse the
levels of menus, if your cursor strays from the parent selection, the
child submenu changes. In AS, I click the parent selection, and the
child submenu comes up and stays regardless of subsequent mouse
movement.
