We get this question from time to time, and all the replies are usually
meaningless, because of the biasedness in the reply. What would
distinguish it, from Just Another Poll, would be the likely things you
want from other WMs that your current DE/WM does not provide.
That said, I personally use fvwm as my WM and have done so for a number
of years. I don't need nor want the bloat and hideousness that GNOME
and KDE seem hell-bent on running. But then they're DEs and not WMs.
Perhaps the best place to look would be here:

it has to be my most favourite website.
