Hi,
I've tried xmonad and awesome, but they're too difficult to configuration. Question is, does user-friendly tiling WM exist? Now I have openbox, but I want to try something else.

Hi
So you're looking for a User-friendly configuration? I use awesome and the configuration scared me in the first place, but after a lot of reading (and also posting in this forums) I'm now very happy with the result. Anyway in questions of usability I think awesome is great (but of course, its in your own hands to adapt it to your needs). However there have been a lot of threads answering the "tiling-wm-question". Check out:

hope this helps. Cheers!

The easiest tiling wm for me is wmii. It doesnt have that much you can reconfigure and works perfectly out of the box. It doesn't have any of xmonads and awesomes extention abilitys, but if you're looking for something simple to start with it's perfect.

You could try Echinus. Haven't tried it for a while, but its config should be pretty straightforward:

I think you could safely use wmii to get started, since you wouldn't need to edit config files: the default configuration is simple and powerful.

try awesome3. Its skeleton rc.lua is pretty easy to understand & modify

Thanks for replies, I'll try everything you wrote

Definitely dwm. Editing the source sounds scary, but you can do most things in the simple config.h file and the syntax isn't hard.

dwm... it's initial configuration is very nice, simple and will provide an easy-to-use introduction to the world of tiling window managers

StumpWM is configured with Common Lisp, so you know it's friendly.

You need to know Common Lisp to have real fun with it though.

Looks like you got some extra words in there by mistake.
