Fluxbox.  Here's what I like about it:

   -  Lean.  Works well on the OLPC XO, for example.
   -  Extremely configurable.
   -  Allows a spare, clean look (e.g. minimal, or even absent, window
      decorations), yet also supports some eye-candy (including
      pseudo-transparency).
   -  Pretty much every mouse action can also be implemented with
      keystrokes.

My next favorite is xfce, and even in fluxbox, I keep xfce-mcs-manager
running to allow enhanced appearance and font control in applications.
