Has anyone ever been able to leave openbox for good?

Question

I just went on a little adventure over the past couple of days trying out different WMs and DEs.  I went from XFCE, to gnome, to XFCE, then compiz stand-alone and back again.  I found that in every environment I was trying to make it feel more like my openbox setup.  Finally I realized that I needed to come back to my comfort zone.  I must confess, the main thing I miss from using other DEs is compiz and its wobbly, snapping windows.  Not to mention expo, and the desktop wall.  However, I hate dealing with all the crap that comes with a DE, and compiz standalone is just not there yet.  I also dabbled in awesome because I like the idea of being able to tile my windows, but I don't work enough in terminals to go that far. 
Has anyone else ever tried to leave openbox? If so, why? Did you leave for good?

Answer 1

The OP's question implies that you would want to leave Openbox.
Btw, for those who enjoy the merits of tiling WMs, just configure your openbox to behave like one. I have the following in my rc.xml file which lets me very quickly arrange windows in a tiled layout with no wasted space on my desktop using the MoveToEdge and GrowToEdge actions. Using these actions on windows without decorations lets you created any tiled layout that you want (I tried Awesome before Openbox but just couldn't stand the limited layout options). All it takes is a few drags and clicks.
<mouse>
<context name="Frame">
<mousebind button="W-Left" action="Drag">
<action name="Raise"/>
<action name="Unshade"/>
<action name="Move"/>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="W-Right" action="Drag">
<action name="Raise"/>
<action name="Unshade"/>
<action name="Resize"/>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="S-W-Left" action="Drag">
<action name="Raise"/>
<action name="Unshade"/>
<action name="Move"/>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="S-W-Right" action="Drag">
<action name="Raise"/>
<action name="Unshade"/>
<action name="Resize"/>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="W-S-Middle" action="Click">
<action name="ToggleDecorations"/>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="W-Left" action="Click">
<action name="GrowToEdgeWest"/>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="W-Right" action="Click">
<action name="GrowToEdgeEast"/>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="W-Up" action="Click">
<action name="GrowToEdgeNorth"/>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="W-Down" action="Click">
<action name="GrowToEdgeSouth"/>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="W-S-Left" action="Click">
<action name="MoveToEdgeWest"/>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="W-S-Right" action="Click">
<action name="MoveToEdgeEast"/>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="W-S-Up" action="Click">
<action name="MoveToEdgeNorth"/>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="W-S-Down" action="Click">
<action name="MoveToEdgeSouth"/>
</mousebind>
</context>
You could of course skip the mouse and create some keyboard bindings to handle all of this too.
