If you want a fast window manager try ratpoison (similar idea to GNU screen), which is widely available. It is really nice to have a window manager that actually manages your windows. If you use GNU screen (or, I assume but have never used, tmux) you can have two terminals sharing the same session for split screen use.

For those needs I've used i3[0] (and lately sway[1]), which both are really nice tiling WMs.

Although sometimes, just sometimes... Having manually tweakable windows and a more complete "desktop environment" makes sense and is just what I need.

For those needs, right now I use Gnome 3. It would be fun trying to replace that with CDE though :)
