Another release candidate for Ion3 has been released, hopefully, again, the last. “Ion is a tiling tabbed window manager designed with keyboard users in mind.”

I am yet to find something simpler, faster and more productive for my development machine (OpenBSD, ion3 with Terminus monospaced font). I have the occasional flirt with gnome, kde, wmii, xfce or dwm but no other WM gives me the consistent performance i have got used to with ion and i always come back to it.
You might also want to have a look at dwm (dwm.suckless.org), that’s the one I use. Xmonad is also great, but it’s got a bit more complicated dependencies than dwm (which only needs a C compiler and xlib basically).
Did you try xmonad? i need to test ion3…
there is a ion3 fork named tritium : http://sourceforge.net/projects/tritium/
not tried yet as i’m quite happy with ion3
According to that page:
This is a shame. A true fork of Ion with the removed/rejected features (e.g. Xinerama support, fonts) added in by default, plus a publicly available source repository (Ion’s one has been withdrawn), would be very useful.
last i heard, the ion3 dev was spending more time uncovering evidence of the global conspiracy to make peoples fonts blurry, than actually writing code![;)](https://www.osnews.com/images/emo/smile.gif)
Two colleagues of mine use ion3 as their wm and everytime I have to stay with them in front of their computers, it’s a nightmare for me
sorry but even for text sysadministration I need a desktop environment ![;)](https://www.osnews.com/images/emo/tongue.gif)
