I would say you use DWM for the suckless philosophy of it at this point, but it is historically important as one of the major early tiling window managers during this current wave that starting around the late naugties. deserves some recognition. It a bit later that bspwm was written, and now it has gained some traction in the "ricing" community. DWM was sort of a default choice for the minimal tiling WM. However, it wasn't for me, I used Subtle for its features and than XMonad for the Haskell experience.

Now I've actually settled into enjoying EXWM the most, feels very natural to have everything to at least appear to be inside emacs. My point is that there is no right tiling window manager.
