If you guys like Debian and want a beatiful, fast DE and WM try Crunchbang. Used to be an Ubuntu and Mint guy. Even tried Xubuntu. I settled on Crunchbang, based on openbox, mainly because it is easy to configure, sensible out of the box and is even faster than XFCE distributions.

Here's a screenshot with WebStorm, gVim and Terminator which can split panes (although I use tmux most of the time).

That's my custom theme. The default theme is beautiful too.
