Having said that, I'd add my vote to i3wm, as it isn't as ideologically pure as some others (you still have window titles if you want them, and the layout remains somewhat manual). Plus a rather readable configuration format, even if the default configuration is seemingly intended to drive vi-users mad.

I like i3 a lot, but even as an Emacs user the first thing I did was to change the focus key bindings to something vi-like. Using JKL; instead of HJKL on anything meant for Unix users just seems devilishly perverse.
