I am of the same opinion.

Writing a WM gives some insight into how a desktop is pieced together. There's a lot of things that you learn the hard way when writing a WM, especially when you thought you've done everything fine but suddenly certain features don't work as expected. This is especially true for pop-ups, panels and bars, for multi-window-hierarchy but that should be considered a single window, for workspaces handling, for multiple screen handling, and more.

In my opinion, when we are the writer, we often over-estimate the usage of some features or envision things in a way but they end up not being used that way. The most important part is how the user, starting with you, interacts with the WM and if it's seemless. You could record yourself performing some action in multiple ways and see which one is more intuitive and fast. Or you could record which features you use the most over a week period.
