I used to use StumpWM and clfsWM, but instabilities in CLX drove me to Openbox.

You are mistaken. One could always modify StumpWM at runtime, via SLIME, which is far superior to geiser. Common Lisp is also superior to Scheme (as a language) and SBCL/CCL are miles better than Guile in particular, Guile being one of the worst Scheme implementations out there.
Those are a lot of claims to throw out there in one sentence. Can you elaborate a bit (although I'll give you SLIME over Geiser)?
The incompatibilities between Schemes is one for starters.

#23Does anyone have experience with both StumpWM and i3? How do they compare? I'm happy with i3, but am curious about other similar window managers.

#24I've used StumpWM before and enjoyed it. It's pleasantly surprising to see how much development seems to have happened on it in the last year.

#27If you'd prefer to use Scheme over Common Lisp and would like to get your hands dirty, consider hacking on guile-wm. I try it out from time to time and make small patches to improve it. You can modify guile-wm at runtime by connecting to the REPL server using telnet or the geiser Emacs extension. I recall StumpWM not having something as convenient.

Your knowledge of Guile is outdated. Read http://wingolog.org

#28There is also another project written in Common Lisp, The Deep Space Window Manager :
https://github.com/dss-project/dswm
Does someone have some experience with it ?
The README has the following statement :
"DSWM is a fork of StumpWM, so have most of all features, which have StumpWM, but it designed for better usability and better integration with emacs."

Your comment would be much better without this bit, which is entirely subjective.

All what humans say is subjective.
