I am currently > using twm which comes with XFree86. Presently I'm using KDEs kwm - doesn't look as good as it could, but it is integrated with a desktop project that I'd like to do some things for. However, to get that running, you'd have to have a bit of porting experience yourself - it doesn't compile straight out of the box, and isn't a port yet (probably due to the complex nature of making a good port of it - yeah, I've looked at that). I've used afterstep until a week ago, and fvwm before that. Anything is better than twm. If you're after recommendations: I'd recommend looking at at least enlightenment and afterstep (if you like NeXTstep style) or fvwm95 and qvm (?) if you like Win95 style, KDE if you feel the project interesting (check out http://www.kde.org).
