• xmonad vs dwmdwm is a small dynamic X11 tiling window manager where many customizations require editing and recompiling the C source instead of a Haskell configuration.
• xmonad vs i3i3 is a BSD-licensed X11 tiling window manager with tree-based layouts and plain configurable key bindings, so no Haskell knowledge is needed.
• xmonad vs QtileQtile is a tiling window manager configured in Python with both X11 and Wayland back ends, replacing Haskell configuration with Python.
• xmonad vs awesomeawesome is a GPL-2.0 X11 window manager with tiling and floating layouts configured in Lua, adding programmable widgets instead of Haskell configuration.
• xmonad vs LeftWMLeftWM is an MIT-licensed tiling window manager written in Rust that separates layout logic from appearance, with bars configured separately.
• xmonad vs SwaySway moves to Wayland with i3-style keyboard-driven tiling and much of the i3 configuration format, instead of X11 and Haskell.
• xmonad vs StumpWMA keyboard-driven tiling window manager for X11, written in and extensible with Common Lisp.
• xmonad vs herbstluftwmA manual tiling window manager for X11 that is configured at runtime through the herbstclient tool.
• xmonad vs bspwmbspwm arranges X11 windows as leaves of a binary tree, controlled through shell commands, and needs separate tools for key bindings and panels.
