Well I usually use Fluxbox. I hate heavy graphic environments.
But I can say that the 90% of the time I use a terminal and firefox...
I was using Gnome some years ago until I realized that it damaged
seriously my neurons becoming at every version "more simple..." So I
switched to KDE and I got really satisfied. I tried enlightenment too
but then I got bored about so much colors, animations, shadows, menus
and I thought "Why do I have to spend resources to have an animation
of an icon? I appreciate that graphic behavior only 1/2 second? or
less?"
So in that moment I got illuminated... and I realized "what do I use
the 90% of my time?"
Read and answer emails, browse internet, type in a terminal.
So why do I need a colored and animated graphic environment?

So I recommend Fluxbox or Blacbox or something like that.
Or as Stephen said X-Emacs! You can have almost all you need with it...

Do you know CDE? It's nice! I think there is a port to Linux too but
I'm not sure:

Cheers.
