Looking for recommendation of tilling WM

Any special recommends?
It has to be light, highly configurable, with built in features (status bar for example).
I took a look in the wiki, but there are too many Tilling WM out there to check.
I'm using Openbox right now.
Thanks.

PS: It will be very nice if you will write why have you chose the specific WM.

I'd have to say say Awesome WM, because it is light, highly configurable and has built in features such as a status bar smile

Re: Looking for recommendation of tilling WM

I like Musca.  I've been using it for a couple of days, maybe weeks.  It was my first experience with a tiling WM.

I tried playing with other tiling window managers, except I didn't like their default key combinations, and didn't feel like putting in the time to completely reconfigure them.
Musca pulls in dmenu, used to launch programs and switch windows.  It's not really a status bar, but that's what Conky is for!

Besides that, I would recommend installing Arch in a virtual machine and play around.
