I'm sure opinions vary a great deal, but here's my 2 cents: KDE - Don't really care for it. Afterstep 1.0 - Nice to start with... featureful but not too cumbersome, pretty easy to configure. Haven't tried the later versions of Afterstep. Windowmaker - Pretty darn nice. Has some GUI configs, nice themes. I'd use it if I weren't running a 486. It just starts to seem a bit slow sometimes, although it's not that bad. Blackbox - minimalistic - nice for a 486. Also worth considering: Enlightenment if you like the Gee Golly Wow effect, and FVWM seems to have quite a following. In general, I'd say try Windowmaker and see how you like it.
