XMonad is nice, but the haskell stuff makes it a chore. There is a great tiling WM called SpectrWM https://opensource.conformal.com/wiki/spectrwm that is a re-implementation of Xmonad in C, with a sane text config file.

Works great for me.

The devs are all current/former OpenBSD guys, including Marco Peereboom (Who forked OpenBSD recently).

I use awesomewm - it heavily relies on the Lua scripting language. It is great and I use it on all my computers - I feel so unproductive if I don't have awesomewm.

What would the advantages of spectrwm be if you could configure Xmonad with a text file?

And thus the circle is complete! DWM (C) -> Xmonad (Haskell) -> SpectrWM (C)
