after 1 week with awesome, 1 week with xmonad and 1 day with
dwm I think I love dwm the most.

it's tiny, fast and written in c.
it's easy to configure - simply by changing the header file and compiling it again. (don't get scared, it's 1 line in the terminal).

if all you want is an xsession with windows for your apps, evilwm is the way to go. no menus, no panels, no tray, no pager, absolutely no bling - except for a one-pixel-wide border around windows .

Technically, the "LXDE" mentioned earlier is already Openbox. Just bundled with a few extras, like a panel, desktop icons, and a text editor.

More just a Openbox with stuff pre-bundled than a separate Window Manager or Desktop environment.

Apparently LXDE is simply OpenBox with some extras. Which extra does LXDE have which OpenBox does not to give it desktop icons?

xmonad is a dynamically tiling X11 window manager that is written and configured in Haskell. In a normal WM, you spend half your time aligning and searching for windows. xmonad makes work easier, by automating this.
