Awesome window manager on my Debian Linux desktop. As to the why, it was
the first tiling window manager I tried that worked for me. I tried some
others but don't remember which ones or why I didn't like them. Oh and
tiling window manager because the idea that the wm actually manages the
windows appealed.

I can't answer your last question, I don't know other window managers
very well any more. I did use fvwm for a long time and I use grml for a
rescue system which uses fluxbox, those get the job done too.

I use KDE also, on my Linux laptop. I've always felt a DE makes sense on
a Linux laptop. And the desktop has an Arch Linux installation with KDE
so I can check out the latest KDE and other apps. Supposedly KDE has
some tiling-like features but I haven't gotten anywhere with those
yet.

I also used Gnome before, maybe around 15 years ago I had a laptop where
there was some issues with media keys and such on KDE but Gnome
worked. That was before Gnome 3. I tried to deal with Gnome 3 but when
some update overwrote all the tweaks to make it functional, I got rid of
it.

Unfortunately, I'm now stuck with Gnome at work. And RHEL8.
