I voted for i3, but I have been getting a subtle gui set up recently. I don't see that option here.

Fluxbox does everything I need - I haven't needed to try a different WM for ages

I am using xfwm4, but I would like to vote for Openbox once I make enough posts. Openbox is highly configurable and highly flexible. Xfwm4 is usually very good, but sometimes gets wonky if you close Xfce with at least one KDE app open.

Tried voting for Metacity, but says security token is missing. Voted for another one to test if this bug was for all choices, and it took my vote.

I voted Enlightenment, but would rather not have E17 take the credit: E16 is where it's at!

VLinux base its window interface on icewm, although there are still some minor issue.

I'm willing to bet I'm the only one who voted for FVWM. When not using a DE it's what I use and have been for twenty years (not almost, not nearly... started using it on the AIX systems at high school in '93). May not be all fancy but it still works for me.
