I've tried a couple tiling window managers (xmonad, awesome, dwm, and even ratpoison) but I always end up using tmux. It works on most unix operating systems so I can run it at work on OSX and at home on Ubuntu. I like having a dedicated workspace / virtual desktop to run tmux full screen in a terminal so it's there for when I need it. Oh and you don't even need to launch X to use tmux. It just seems much more convenient to me.
