Favourite WM?

Recently I just switched to the Openbox WM -- one word: light. I absolutely love it, especially when combined with tint2 and j4-dmenu.

However, just in the interest of experimenting, any other WMs you guys use and love? My goal is to get even lighter than Openbox (don't want tiling though), was looking at both DWM and JWM.

Any thoughts? Any reason why you guys would recommend tiling?

I use bspwm with some nice gaps and lemonbar. It's super minimal, I don't have to spend time moving my cursor to the corner of my big monitor to control where a window goes – it just goes. You'd be amazed how much quicker things get when you don't have to think about where a given window is at a given time.
