My Opinion: Window Managers
We ran a poll in Ubuntu Forums asking: What window manager do you use? Although not many people voted there were some surprising choices and comments.

yabadabbadont - Fluxbox built from SVN.
saxonjf - I use GNOME right now, but if it's easy enough to use, I may very well go to Compiz Fusion.
mrmonday Currently an OpenBox-GNOME user. I switch between window managers though. I'd be using Compiz Fusion, but I've got over the graphical effects, and it uses 50%+ of my CPU since the last update - no update since and re-installing didn't help. GNOME with OpenBox is a great combination imo, mixing beautiful low resource borders and a simple to use panel
nathangrubb - Fluxbox
pluviosity - I use a combination of GNOME, KDE, and Compiz Fusion, with KDE being my most used window manager
Hardly a surprise, but it seems that GNOME out ranks both KDE and Compiz by almost 5 to 1. Surprisingly, Beryl seemed less used than Compiz and poor Xfce gained only one vote. Fluxbox seems to be the light-weight window manager of choice these days.
