What desktop do you use?
 
I am using FVWM.

I use Fluxbox

You're gonna get some comments about not including fluxbox on there I think. :) It would have been better to use checkboxes rather than radio buttons.

I use KDE primarily. I've been experimenting with Fluxbox considerably lately and still haven't become comfortable with it but I persist because it runs so damn fast.

KDE for my usual stuff but if the computer is strapped for resources I go with XFCE and hopefully i can switch xfce with fluxbox eventually.

At the moment I am using XFce.

Gnome for me. It's the perfect balance between not looking like windows, and easy to navigate.

Well, the only problem with fvwm is no controls.
you need to write all of the commands (firefox, etc...) alone in the terminal.
It's now bothers me...

I use e16. It's simple, solid, fast, attractive, and does everything I want.

Other... Openbox with pypanel, really nice on the laptop, doesnt take up to much space and is fast.. Also looks a little nicer than Fluxbox.

Currently using WindowMaker.
But thinking about changing to Enlightenment when I have time to re-learn everything :)

fluxbox here

Fluxbox. I've used KDE, but found it difficult to work with. I like the simplicity and easy configurability of fluxbox.

IceWM, there's nothing wrong with it.

I use the tabbed window manager (twm). I'm just a caveman and don't understand your sophisticated desktop environment ways.

I'm currently using XFce on the computer I'm posting from, but on my personal box, I'm running Fluxbox. I used to really like Blackbox, but I dunno...
I really like Ion2/Ion3, but I don't like how it forces all your windows (by default) to maximum size - which is a pain in the arse if you decide to use another window manager, not to mention, not all applications can run in a maximized window.
