According to this site: http://www.plig.org/xwinman/vote.html, Window Maker is the best but it looks ugly to me. IMHO, fluxbox and FVWM are the best.

twm is really flexible window manager, you can assign any key, mouse, or key+mouse
combination to do any function of the window manager, which include simple window
operations, launching programs in the background, or displaying menus (and submenus)

its great if you use a lot of xterms to edit text.

it's kinda cute too.

If you use fvwm you are correct

Flexible, managable, it can become anything you ever need. It supports mouse gestures even.

fvwm 4 evah!

From the site:

Many factors combine to give the results considerable bias, such as the users of some window managers are more likely to vote than others. Therefore you shouldn't read too much into the results.

Fvwm of course

Ultimate configuration & tweaking.
If you like it small and don't like to f*ck around with a config file, use XFCE4. Otherwise you'll have to get one of the two big beasts, Gnome or KDE.
