I've been using Xmonad for such a long time I can barely use a non-tiling WM properly now. Makes me look like a fool on almost anybody else's computer. But perhaps the greatest thing about Xmonad is that it can lead you to Haskell and to functional programming in general, and I think this is one of the most useful and beautiful discoveries a developer can make. Your Javascript or your PHP will get better just by looking at some Haskell :)

This is encouraging. I switched from Awesome to Qtile just because I liked python more than lua, although Qtile lacks much in features (specifically, Awesome's better layouts, in my opinion). However, I've been wanting to learn Haskell and I was hoping using Xmonad would be a good excuse to learn it. It sounds like I'd get what I want.
