I tried AwesomeWM two days ago, and after two days of hard work understanding the API reference, I came up with this. More screenshots are below.

I used to be in love with Awesome but I think it's been more than 10 years since I used it last. I remember the software being wonderful and the people in the people in the community being stereotypical, smug, "rtfm" types.. That was more frustrating than anything else about Awesome.

I experienced this too. That's why I stopped asking them anything after my first query (why my keybindings were not working when defined in another file) and relied on guess work. I also found the community kind of dead, so you don't actually get the answers quicker than the guess work will get you there.
