Hi, I'm a new Awesome user and I find it very cool so far.

I used to run Golem, but it's not maintained anymore, and was breaking with Pure Data. Then I tried Openbox and Oroborus but I couldn't find the same lightness and speed and configurability as I enjoyed with Golem.

Last year, my brand new laptop only worked with Ubuntu, so I decided to run it temporarily, waiting for Debian to support my hardware correctly. Finally, I spent almost a year with the default Ubuntu Gnome desktop and recently I was just fed up with the clickodrome and decided to give a try to Awesome. I found it so pretty that I reinstalled my system entirely with a Debian Lenny 64bit and now run Awesome. What a relief :)

What I especially like in Awesome is the default binding of the SUPER_L (aka Windows) key for window operations. Finally a window-manager taking advantage of it! I also like its small memory footprint and its versatility.

I still have to configure it properly, but I'm learning Lua in the process and enjoy that too.
