 This is a small window manager for the X Window System written
 entirely with XCB, the straight X protocol binding to the C language.
-It doesn't use libX11, like most older window managers do.
+It doesn't use libX11 which most older window managers do.
 
 It's a traditional 'floating' window manager. It doesn't really do
 anything new to the user experience. It is pretty stupid, but can
 probably be useful for some people.
 
-Unlike most window managers, however, it is not a reparenting window
-manager. This means it might be able to run simultaneously with
-another window manager if you just want to get at the key bindings to
-manipulate windows. If this will work or not depends pretty much on
-what the other window manager thinks about stuff happening to windows
-without it looking.
