My favorite is Afterstep.  Actually, to be sure, my favorite is AfterStep
classic - the 1.0 versions.  They are pretty sturdy, and yet look really
nice.  On a similar level, jerickso like WindowMaker.  I don't know
where that one is, but Afterstep is at www/ftp.afterstep.org.  You can
find the 1.0 version that I like in /pub/devel/.  Its called "Afterstep
Classic"

Enlightenment is /really/ pretty.  I suggest that you keep it around if
you want to show off your computer to people.  (enlightenment.org, I think)
Its getting more and more stable, but it is almost too much flash, though
it does remain quite functional.

Finally, in a bind, I'll fall back on fvwm...
