Enlightenment should get more votes this year because of the success of the new Bodhi Linux distro which feature the new e17 version. I find Enlightenment e17 to be the most light weight Windows manager that has full keyboard shortcuts and can be configured the way I want.

Well it stands to reason if KDE is my favorite desktop, then KWin is my favorite windows manager.  |
