I use i3, but to say that I like it is a bit overstated. It’s fine, does what I expect the very basic of a tiling window manager to do. I used Nimdow for a while and it’s pretty good, the default bar is way better than i3 (supports ANSI colour coding, mouse presses, etc.), but I could never quite get to grips with the tiling algorithm.

I’m working on my own WM though, it’s not tiling per-se, I choose to call in non-overlapping and I’m trying to solve my gripes with i3. Basically windows should not be forcefully expanded if they don’t want to. Try open galculator under i3 and watch the horror. And when expanded the size should be split based on their initial sizes. So if I have Firefox open and want to do something in a quick terminal window the terminal won’t get 1/2 of the screen. Firefox wanted more space than the terminal initially, so the terminal gets to take up a smaller share of the space.

Sway, but used everything from ratpoison back in the day, awesomewm, i3, hyprland, openbox with manual tiling to Plasma. Just keep coming back to sway, seems like the best for for me.

i3wm, tho I do wanna move to wayland.

Currently using sway, but mostly for the lack of good Auto tilers on Wayland

XMonad. Been using it for almost a decade, and very powerful. I3 I hear is also good.

I started with for a bit awm, however i am giving qtile a try since im learning how to code python so good practice.

herbstluftwm - because it just works and does not try to think for me;

The configuration is a shell script using herbstclient to talk to the wm process, that’s a plus for me, too.

HYPRLAND !
