xmonad

A dynamically tiling X11 window manager that is written and configured in Haskell. In a normal WM, you spend half your time aligning and searching for windows. XMonad makes work easier, by automating this. xmonad automates the common task of arranging windows, so you can concentrate on getting stuff done. Out of the box, no window decorations, no status bar, no icon dock. just clean lines and efficiency. Haskell and smart programming practices guarantee a crash-free experience. It sports a vibrant extension library, including support for window decorations, status bars, and icon docks. Core features like per-screen workspaces, true xinerama support and managehooks can’t be found in any other wm. We work hard to make common configuration tasks one-liners.

Features

Very stable, fast, small and simple
Tiny code base (~2000 lines of Haskell)
Automatic window tiling and management
First class keyboard support: a mouse is unnecessary
Full support for tiling windows on multi-head displays
Full support for floating, tabbing and decorated windows
