I started using EXWM, the Emacs X Window Manager, a few weeks ago, and it is by far my favorite window manager yet. It is the ultimate anti-desktop: all windows just become Emacs buffers. Since terminal windows are just Emacs buffers, managing terminal windows is exactly like managing X windows.
After almost 20 years of: Enlightenment, Blackbox, Window Maker, StumpWM (only tiling window manager I could stand to use until EXWM), too much twm, Openbox most recently, and a few others I forget, EXWM feels really refreshing.

- fusiongyro 10y agoI used it for a while and really liked it, except for a couple snafus: modefulness, in terms of how keystrokes are interpreted, and my Java IDE did not love it. Otherwise it is fantastic.
