I always liked Ion3 a lot despite the conflicts the author had with distros. http://notion.sourceforge.net/ is a fork of it that is maintained.

Another vote for Ion3, I tried dozens tiling wm-s, none of them come even close to ion3.

How does it compare to i3? After evaluating quite some tiling window managers i3 ended up as my favourite. However I can't recall evaluating Ion3.

ion3 is one of the tools that you start to appreciate only after you use it for some time and you can't just explain it by enumerating features. Because alone those features don't sound that impressive and distinct. But it's the combination that matters.

It's really too bad that I never archived:

http://modeemi.fi/~tuomov/b/

which was his blog, and there are not archive.org copies from 2009 and before. He had a lot of very thought provoking and iconoclastic things to say about OSS and the OSS movement that I found very interesting.
