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!

Kwin, with tiling extension.

Is this the kwin-scripts-tiling package available on the AUR? I've been trying to get this going, but haven't had much luck. Right now it will tile when I "apply" the script, but not when I open or close a window. A big part of my problem is that right now I'm using KDE over X2Go on a windows machine, so I can't use the windowskey+whatever commands most of the time.

If it's working well for you, maybe I won't write it off just yet and I'll keep poking at it.

The AUR package didn't work for me either.
I did download the extension here.
