How to make Openbox look good with ease?
On the other hand, as you can read at its GitHub repo, jgmenu is a simple, independent and contemporary-looking X11 menu, designed for scripting, ricing and tweaking. It is hackable, has a simple code base and does not depend on any toolkits such as GTK and Qt, but uses cairo and pango to render the menu. It can optionally use some appearance settings from XSettings, tint2 and GTK; and it has UTF-8 search support.

Help me understand the possibilities of Bash (best uses, etc)
Aside from the obvious uses - command line scripts - you can also do quite a bit with the GUI. Check out Yad for bash script GUI. X11 related tools like wmctrl, xdotool allow you to create spectacular scripts. I write and use numerous dynamic menus created with bash + jgmenu.

A little bit confused about window managers
rofi or dmenu are often used and I can recommend them too. These programs are graphical that can be used to build your own menu with a few options and arguments. They also have some functionality to show you installed programs on your system and execute it. Qtile itself have such a functionality too: DmenuRun . And there is a menu program that will list applications like KDE startmenu with categories does in example: jgmenu

is Openbox still being developed?
It is worth adding that Johan is also the author of an excellent jgmenu. So labwc is a serious project led by a great developer. https://github.com/johanmalm/jgmenu
