I'm using KDE and I'm pretty satisfied with it. I used to Enlightment some time ago, but I stick with KDE now. Maybe I'm gonna try another out.
I usually use KDE. On my DRI hacking partition I use Fluxbox, although I don't have a real reason for doing so (I still use KDE apps for development).

Bah. Window managers are for pussies. I use raw -geometry arguments!
My stuff.Shameless promotion: FreePop: The GPL god-sim.
Enlightenment for me, I got some py scripts that automate what I want for me, so I do away with the whole less productive factor..
KDE with Openbox instead of kdm: the simplicity and speed of Openbox combined with the usability of KDE.
I used to have just plain Openbox with kicker running but the dock icons didn't always come up where they belong, etc...
Oh, and who needs dektop icons? They just clutter the desktop and create chaos. :-P
yes desktop icons are useless, especially with gdesklets and gkrellm

I'm a Windowmaker man myself, though I've tried Ion which was interesting.

I have been using Ion (http://modeemi.cs.tut.fi/~tuomov/ion/) for a few months now. This is a rather unconventional window manager, it does away with the usual concept of windows and makes everything full screen.


If you liked Ion you could also take a look at ratpoison which is much like it. Everything fullscreen etc. Very nice I must say!

In the past I have used KDE and Fluxbox. At the moment I am using xfce4.
