Re: Your Favourite Tiling WM
Tint2 does tray just fine too..
+1 for awesome - I tried and liked Scrotwm, didn't go much on Musca or EvilWM. Awesome is great because it doesn't lock you into strict tiling for everything.
And it's a tinkerer's dream 
Re: Your Favourite Tiling WM
I use DWM..It's the best tiler for me,as I don't need complicated tiling layouts(I use tmux to handle splitting of terminals) and it's pretty light and responsive.And of course,because it has the config in C.

Re: Your Favourite Tiling WM
i have to go with dwm on this. euclid is a solid second but everyone started somewhere.
i just don't lua enough (or care about whether my core temperature is blah blah blah conky blah blah blah) to want to use awesome for more than "because i can minimize skype (which i don't use that often) to the systray"

Re: Your Favourite Tiling WM
Scrotwm. I like it for it's simplicity, It doesn't do anything fancy or any of those extra features awesomewm, it does one thing and does it well; tiling my windows, and that's all I really need. It also looks really good when properly configured. (If you don't believe me, look at gutterslob's stuff.)

Scrotwm and WMFS. I just love those two very much.

Re: Your Favourite Tiling WM
I don't like automatic tiling very much (you close a client and everything will be resized/moved). Instead, I love manual tiling and my choice is musca. It does the bare minimum managing the clients and it's very easy to configure. I've always an open terminal with byobu (https://launchpad.net/byobu) on the desktop, so I don't need statusbars or applets.

Re: Your Favourite Tiling WM
After reading ErSandro's post I gave musca a short spin yesterday evening and I think I will look closer at it even-though at least one application kept crashing.
Correction: Today (Sunday 4th) I found out the crash was due to two faulty jpeg-files and had nothing to do with musca.

Re: Your Favourite Tiling WM
Someone tested this WM http://wwwcip.cs.fau.de/~re06huxa/herbstluftwm/#about ?
Is similar to Musca.

I'm testing it at the moment, played around with it for about 1 hour now, I'm totally new to manual tiling, but I really like the look and feel, so far.
