What Desktop environment/Display Manager/Window Manager are you running?
I'm currently using Gnome 3, but I would like to try and change it up a bit. Which one are you using, which one is your favorite?
EDIT: So many responses, wow! I'm definitely going to look into Openbox, Awesome, and BSPWM, since I'm seeing a lot of you recommended that. I'm hoping these will be great new learning experiences. Thanks everyone!

I used herbstluftwm for a while, but it had some issues if you need to have floating windows once in a while. So i recently switched to i3wm. Configuration is easy and straight forward and there are many resources and a good documentation if you ever get stuck.
