How about Arcan? [0]

It seems very well reasoned, has stable API, excellent backwards compatibility and does not require GPU and i5 as this one might? Its author also has proven record and actual experience, which I'm not sure authors hpf TFA have, judging solely from their writing.

Um, how do you use it? I've tried like five times and I keep bouncing off the project.
NixOS has a nice module that can be easily enabled. After that default DE durden can be invoked with single command and can be interacted with as a normal VM/Window alongside your existing DE.

Admittedly I haven't tries making it my default yet, but seemed fairly well adaptable for tiling WM/Openbox needs.
