MacPorts $0.00
One of my favorite window managers (albeit for X11) is Window Maker.
In every way possible, it reproduces the elegant look and feel of the NEXTSTEP user interface.
You can download the Window Maker source code, but it is also available on MacPorts if you'd like to use package management.


MacPorts
MacPorts is a robust, stable, mature and easy to use package management solution, for OS X. It is modeled after FreeBSD's ports system, which has been adopted as the basis of NetBSD's pkgsrc.
install Xcode 5.1.1
MacPorts requires an appropriate version of xcode; xcode_5.1.1.dmg is the most recent version for Mavericks (after registerring for a free developer account, and logging into developer.apple.com, that link will begin your xcode download). Once the download completes, open your Terminal.app and complete the installation:
hdiutil attach -quiet -noverify -nobrowse -noautoopen ~/Downloads/xcode_5.1.1.dmg cp -npR /Volumes/Xcode/Xcode.app /Applications/ hdiutil detach -quiet /Volumes/Xcode open -g /Applications/Xcode.app killall Xcode.app
install MacPorts
