I've been using Awesome for a long time (other tiling WM beforehand as
well) and stuck with it. I does what I need it to do.

If you refer, like I do, a keyboard driven environment then I'd
suggest you look for other programs which don't require you to use a
mouse (or minimise its usage at the very least) and therefore increase
your productivity. I use rxvt-unicode with Perl extensions (i.e. tabs)
as my terminal and Luakit as my browser, not to mention Mutt and other
command line tools.

[ubuntu-uk] Tiling Window Managers

[Philip Stubbs]

Don't get me wrong. I like Unity. It does what it does well. However,
I was reading some notes from UDS, and Xmonad was mentioned. I think
in an off-hand way, but I decided to install and have a play.

Well I liked what I found.

I can't be alone, so was wondering what other opinions were. What is
the best tiling window manager? I did find a list here
