As for myself, I have fluxbox, openbox, jwm and i3 set up. I was
led to those minimalists as I started using emacs more and found
conflicts between emacs keyboard shortcuts and those in the
"mainstream" WMs
I was further motivated by the "featuritis" that seemed to be
growing amongst the mainstream WMs.
All of those minimalists are very transparent and completely
flexible when it comes to keyboard programming and I've programmed
keystrokes in all of them similarly, which makes switching less of
a distraction.
I reserve the super key as a prefix for all my WM/Desktop
shortcuts. In case someone hasn't made the inference - I prefer to
use the keyboard over the pointing device - whenever possible and
practical. And practical comes with practice.
