tiling or not?

I use cwm (calm window manager) from the base of OpenBSD. I am familiar with scrotwm (tiling window manager) for OpenBSD and somewhat with TWM and FVWM managers from the X and the
base of OpenBSD respectively. I am also familiar with dwm (dynamic window manager
which is tiling (suckless code) project as well as OpenBox which is getting little bit bloated but nothing close to FluxBox.

For the Windows (KDE, Gnome, Xfce) like desktop experience I think that the best WM around is JWM (Joe's Window Manager). Due to the claver use of libraries from X, JWM is actually lighter than most if not all of the above mentioned WM. It is actually lighter than dwm which has some nasty dependencies.
