[arch-general] Openbox - great lightweight desktop, similar to icewm, but better in several regards

Disagreed, tiling window managers are entirely designed for tiling
stuff. They tend to be _much_ better at it than stuff like screen and
Terminator. I'm pretty confident in this assessment because I used
screen for quite a while before I got into tiling. It's just not the
same.

Also, it's not even necessarily better on ram. If you're using a smart
terminal like urxvt or XFCE Terminal, they can run in a shared mode
where running a ton of terminals doesn't really skyrocket your ram
(unlike gnome-terminal for example).
