I was using Window Maker for ages, but I gave up on it when I had to write a
patch to get my preferred mouse bindings and behaviour.  I now use Sawmill
with my Blocks theme, which I find very comfortable.  Sawmill also allows
you to bind shell commands, so now I just hit M-Shift-F11 to bring up my PPP
connection (finally, a use for function keys!).

Uh, oh...  Window manager wars approaching...  ;-)

I'm finding the font-lock jolly handy for writing markup; the colours are
nice and muted, and Emacs will fill paragraphs that are inside a pair of
tags, like this:

<p>
 Random junk, which will be filled.
</p>

I find that when I want to do something, I check to see if Emacs can do it,
and oftentimes it can.
