I switched because... long-ish story...
.. partly because I got tired of fighting with FVWM's odd config syntax. It is hugely powerful but I never really became comfortable with it. and ... about six months ago I spent a few days in a fruitless attempt to learn lisp. Life got in the way and that was abandoned for a while. I revisited the idea a few days ago and decided that it would be helpful to use an existing lisp application with which I could tinker. I did briefly consider looking at CLFSWM - but decided instead that sawfish looked fun.

Sawfish seems a bit easier (with sawfish-config for initial setup), and has the benefit of having a lisp to configure it. (not a lisp programmer, but I'm familiar with it and would like to know more about it...) I've been checking the rep-lisp code on the wiki, in combination with sawfish-client.. interesting!
