Finally dragged myself away from bspwm, which I never found any interest in to config. I first tried herbstluftwm and enjoyed the defaults, but then figured I'd try xmonad just for the sake of it (I had plans to try Haskell, anyway) and I will defenitely sink some time into setting up xmonad.hs to my liking. I think the design of having a master window is great, and writing the config in a statically typed language feels much better than writing a script (disclaimer: I'm biased).

I also found a screencast of Ethan Schoonover's setup <https://github.com/altercation/dotfiles-tilingwm>, which I plan to steal a lot of features from. Perhaps now I can create something that utilizes the hammerhead setup (two vertical monitors on the side of a bigger horizontal monitor) completely.
