> +1 for dwm/dmenu.  I really like grouping by tags.

Awesome certainly has tag-based management, and Xmonad probably also
does considering it was a DWM clone once. In Awesome, at least,
dmenu's pretty much obsoleted by Awesome's own built-in panels and
tags have been taken much  further than dwm due to the shifty add-on
library that allows dynamic creation + deletion of tags, even based on
events. Ex -> hit a bind to make a new tag (type to name it); set it
up so when firefox opens, it gets its own tag, and that tag exists
until firefox closes.
