Enlightenment - it's gorgeous. It catches more eyes than a pimped out setup of KDE or Gnome.

When I want a DE, I use KDE. When I need my PC NOW, I use BlackBox

I really like the combination of Gnome/Enlightenment that geubuntu has come up with. So even if it is not my main distro I like to use it when I give a presentation; it has a lot of wow factor. I think enlightenment has a lot of potential and has come a long way in 2007.

No fvwm is really sad - it's a classic still extremely active, supports native SVG AND rounded corners - so I'm totally voting for my fvwm 2.0

Floating windows are evil!
I'm surprised the ultimate tiling WM is on the list... nice! Ion is my choice.

What about XGL (my choice), KDM or XDM? I was under the impression that these are windowmanagers too, aren't they??

wmii is missing just like dwm (the simplified version). It sure is the most advanced from the tiling window manager and very much affiliated to the ideas of Plan9. I have switched to it from GNOME as I got tired moving windows around.
