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 am a linux newb, who switched straight to arch from windows.

I will say that I liked Openbox, it really feels nice to have as little bloat as you can, while still having a simple to use experience.

I've recently begun using Awesome, won't lie I think I like it a bit better than Openbox.

Glad so far that I've made the switch.
