  A window manager for X11

I loved Blackbox's configuration, however it's been deprecated in favor of Openbox, which is WAY less friendly. BB has a modern fork which works for the most part, but expect corner-cases.

  A tiling window manager for X11

  

i3 is probably the most well-documented and well-supported, and has a pretty simple configuration syntax.
