I use xmonad with a custom tiling and dzen setup that arranges my workspaces on a 3x3 grid and shows a little indicator of where I am on the grid in the way that gnome-panel used to do it (before "the accident"). All workspace navigation and window manipulation is customized, and I can fly around my desktop with ease. It took a lot of work to get running, but I wouldn't change a thing about my setup. It makes a huge difference when programming.
On a related note, has anyone been suffering from slow startup times with xmonad lately? I'm not sure if it's xmonad, or some other part of my setup, or a misconfiguration.
