I've used it about a year ago, it looks *beautiful* though you've got to 
follow the current cvs/svn tree. Ended up going back to my trusty Fluxbox
setup after a while for some reason.

I do like the simplicity (and speed) of fluxbox. It is simply a window
manager so you can then pick which file manager, text editor, email
program, web browser you want without having a set of (non compulsory)
defaults pushed onto you by the developers.

... just my 2c (though the cent's practically worthless now)
