I voted for xmonad, as it's the closest thing there is to a comfortable, tiling window manager. :)
StumpWM comes close, but I just wish it didn't force the need for a prefix key-sequence - I personally wish it behaved a little more like xmonad.

As far as other WMs I use go, I am also quite partial to CWM (on OpenBSD).

I Vote fvwm

fluxbox gets the vote, but icewm is not far behind. (BTW icewm theme problems are now fixed)

I haven't invested much time in finding the differences between any of these and so I stick with the default for ubuntu. Which I'm pretty sure is metacity. And I enable the effects which makes it fun :) If I'm wrong, oh well -- metacity gets an uninformed vote.

icewm
I like is simple configuration and i use it on Linux and Bsd system, in the future i hope to use it even on OpenSolaris.

I'm pretty sure if you've enabled Desktop Effects you're no longer using Metacity; it switches to Compiz. It's okay, though, Compiz is cool ;)

I've been running Fvwm on Slackware for some time now, and just started playing around with Awesome on OpenBSD. So I voted Fvwm.

Thanks for the info. But it seems that my vote went to the wrong place =)

I cast another vote for the elegance of simplicity

trentfox 01-21-2010 05:44 AM

Openbox was my selection; implementated is fantastic in #!CrunchBang.

Ahh I do see that they have some changes this year I will have to download it and compile it promptly. I really do hope the themes have been fixed I will have to test it and see if its working. I am actually surprised to see this out since there was no activity on the mailing list( I am currently subscribed). I know that I mentioned it so maybe someone saw that and did some work :)

Fluxbox & Metacity are ok. Compiz is pretty cool. But my vote goes to Enlightenment. By far, the most elegant & pretty window manager I've ever seen! The only downside is that it's a bit of a resource-hog which makes sense considering all it's doing & I can live with that. ;)
