I use it as my main DE for many of my systems, including my writing laptop. It is really, just as you say, pretty much install-and-use. At one time, I maintained a fairly extensive FVWM configuration, but trying ICEWM a few times freed me.

That's fluxbox for me!

Yes, I used that a lot, I had some crazy configs there, mini TV in dock with XawTV or something, and nice panel. But for years I prefer Openbox, configured once and it just works. Today i also have Labwc, almost same experience, LXQt works fine with both.

I've been using fluxbox for a good decade-plus; in that time I've accumulated maybe ... 2 or 3 things to complain about? Suits me very well (:

Fluxbox was something I tried. Icewm just tickled my fancy a bit more. Still solid.

For me it's Blackbox. I really like the austere default gray theme.

I might give IceWM a shot.

I keep wanting the impossible. Something minimalist like i3, FVWM etc. but comprehensive, so I can go without what kept feeling like all the hassle of having to write custom utilities for so many operations and spending a lot of time having to configure the damn thing.
