strictly a matter of personal preference.
So, having said that, what window manager do you use, and why?
I was in the same position as you a couple of years ago. I tried various WM's and wasn't sure which one to stick with. I came up with the following. I used Gnome for a long time, however about six months ago I switched to KDE permantly. I do miss certian things about gnome (like better integration with D-Bus and automounting hardware), and despite the fact that I primarly program with wxWidgets and not Qt.. I still have found KDE to be the most usefull to me. I think the big change for me was when Gentoo started the split KDE ebuild's so I don't have to have a huge monolithic KDE install anymore. Just the basics and some stuff that I acctualy use. KDE is no longer a hardware/cpu hog and doesn't take much more resources than Fluxbox. However I still use fluxbox if I am going to run a game such as AA.
