ratpoison, because it actually manages those pesky windows.

I use ratpoison on a ThinkPad X201. I basically only have one xterm with tmux and one browser open. Ratpoison is the least annoying window manager for that.

ratpoison was my first tiling wm. i remember how it made me feeling like a total newbie =) its lack of a floating mode (needed for gimp and others) made me switch to more advanced wms though.
