ratpoison
Well, I have used LOTS of window managers... KDE, Gnome, XFCE, FVWM, Windowmaker, etc... So recently I decided to try a new one, of a new kind to me: ratpoison.
Ratpoison is a tiling window manager, which means that windows do not overlap. It is the perfect type of environment for people like me who like to run most of their apps in CLI (mutt, centericq, mc, giftcurs to only name a few) but still want the ability to run X apps (skype, enemy territory, firefox).
If you are familiar with 'screen', then ratpoison is perfect for you. You can use it without ever having to touch the mouse. After building it, I found that most things were extremelly easy, as I have used screen for a few years already.
The Interface
First, let's take a look at the interface. I have a attached a screenshot to this post (not mine) to give you an idea.
