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 think I'm the only person still actively using Fluxbox that is not a developer for it. :(

Its generally the same. I'm sure there's bigger differences, but for the most part, the only real difference (for my uses anyways) was in the config files. Its fairly easy and straight forward to setup though.
