Awesome3 v3.2 now supports vertical resizing
Just a nice little piece of information for everyone who has tried Awesome3 in the past and liked it, but not been able to use it because of the lack of vertical resizing and more dynamic layouts. Awesome3 now DOES support vertical resizing as well as much more dynamic layouts. An unlimited number of columns, for example, are now possible. Here is a shot of my system now running awesome3:
Here are some keybindings you can use for the vertical resizing:
key({ modkey, "Mod1" }, "Left", function () awful.client.incwfact(0.05) end),
key({ modkey, "Mod1" }, "Right", function () awful.client.incwfact(-0.05) end),
Just enter those into your keybindings section and, of course, feel free to change the keys. That's how they were given to me and I'll be changing them to be more in-line with the vim-style keybindings (hjkl) as I don't like having to reach 
Anyway, Awesome3 is a great WM and is now (for me) actually 100% usable. If you're looking for a nice tiling WM that doesn't require a lot of setup, Awesome3 is now the way to go. It does everything you need and also includes a few nice extras that the others don't include without configuration such as a system tray area. If you've never tried a tiling WM, awesome3 is great one to start with.

That it is! It now includes all of the features I like from all of the tiling WMs I like. Today is a good day.

Re: Awesome3 v3.2 now supports vertical resizing
This is good news! Didn't noticed it cuz wasn't able to do it before and never tried since.
Right now there are random floating apps which bugs me to some extent, but generally 3.2 is a great improvement.
