hehe, you're not going to get many un-biased answers on the "AfterStep
Listserv"

To be perfectly honest (And I'm trying to be as unbiased as I can), I
havn't had good experiences with Enlightenment, or WindowMaker.  I'm not
at all impressed with any of the FVWMs, or the ICEWM.  KDE has potential
(yes I know this isn't theoretically just a window-manager), but IMHO it
still leaves a lot to be desired.  KDE represents many of the reasons why
I don't use Win95 much anymore.  You just can't configure it as well.  

I'm in for the long-haul with Afterstep.  Great support staff, great
advancements.  The development team is really responsive to opinions and
make decisions for the best overall window manager they can do.
