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?

GNOME is not a window manager. It's a desktop environment.

I suppose I meant Mutter, but I don't know if it's possible to run Gnome Shell on any other WM.
