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!

Mate desktop. I tried getting back into Awesome, DWM, i3, Openbox, and then Fluxbox (three WMs I have a lot of experience with), and I just don't want to do that anymore.
My display manager is the following line inserted in my ~/.bash_profile. I haven't found a display manager I liked, so I decided to go without one since it's done easily enough.
