I think the GNOME designers are incompetent
Fun fact: Openbox, Blackbox and Fluxbox all stopped active development around 2015. What happened in that year?

Fvwm3 1.0.3 release!
Thomas recently finished version 1.0.3! Some major changes include: * perllib: remove references to Tk #502 (ThomasAdam) * Remove xpmroot link. #495 (somiaj) * Remove FvwmConsoleC.pl front-end #379 (slazav) * New DesktopConfiguration mode: shared which mimiks how desktops are handled by other WMs such as Xmonad or Spectrwm in that desks are shared across all attached monitors. * Panframe support has been reworked which means switching between pages with the mouse on monitor edges should now work as expected. * Lots of fixes to plug memory-leaks. Check it out here!

Suggestions
I'd recommend checking in on the IRC channel or opening a Github issue, much better way to get in touch with the developers! I'm just a very enthusiastic user who likes to report bugs. :D

help me choose a wm
Just fyi, river is nothing like awesome, it's like bspwm. There was an attempt to make an awesome clone for wayland but it's no longer under development. Also, though it's not tiling, for completeness there's also labwc which is a wayland clone of openbox.
