I've only jus discovered this highly scriptable miracle of a window manager. Besides using Emacs-style key chains for non-Emacs things, what other window manager allows you to launch and use another window manager without restarting X? While it isn't exactly a tiling window manager, one can easily add tiling features with external scripts.

Will TWM be added?

Notion was added on the same day on one thread vote, TWM has had two so far, the first from myself about three weeks ago, but is still not listed.

It is still an active project, twm-1.0.8 was released only 4 months ago.

It would be nice to give Alan Coopersmith and his colleagues some recognition.

twm has been added.

Thank you :-)

My vote has been duly cast.

Window maker rocks.

Yeah, thats the thing about tiling wm's. Once you learn how to use them, some things are really great such as a perfect environment for coding. Some things are the same such as web browsing. Some things are just impossible. Anymore I would just prefer openbox. when I want to code I'll run tmux.

Where is BSPWM?

Enlightenment, slick, lightweight and infinitely tweakable.

Since bspwm was added, how about adding herbstluftwm.

Or... use latest Englightenment, wh/gives you choice of either or. I've been using E17 "alpha", the past couple years or so, and most recently Enlightenment18. +1 on the comment above about it being infinitely customizable. So I get to have things my way w/very little pain.

Besides being my favorite, if we're talking "Window Manager of the Year", Enlightenment surely takes the cake in terms of progress. Sure, it's heavier than the uber lightweight tiling WM's, but still orders of magnitude lighter than a DE while still incorporating many DE conveniences. To wit, I'm unsure, whether DE may actually be a more accurate category Enlightenment as it progresses.

As added bonus, it also brought us Terminology. An actually new and innovative terminal rather than just rehash/repackaging of rxvt...

As the project matures it may indeed reach a sort of middle ground which will make it difficult to categorize for the MCA's.

Compiz of course!
