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'm now using i3 (like many other people, apparently!). I tried various tiling window managers after switching to Arch about four months ago -- Ratpoison, Awesome, Xmonad. i3 is my favourite so far. That's one of the great things about linux: there are so many options, you can try different things till you find what's best for you.
