After using windowmaker, I switched to awesome and I am not looking back. The install is tiny, and it starts instantly, unlike KDE. The tiling is very nice. The configuration is in lua but I haven't been annoyed by anything enough to bother modifying it.

As I work with dual screen linux connected to a remote windows XP/7 desktop running in VMWare/HyperV, I have a screen for tiled urxvt terminals connected to the servers running the processes I manage, with a floating rdesktop session hiding it most of the time. The other screen is set to 'floating' for emails, web browsing and local terminals sessions.
