I believe you're right about xfce. I'm so out of it I hadn't even heard of MATE or Cinnamon. :) They seem more like DEs, what are folks using as straight window managers?
Yes, they're DE's. Openbox has probably replaced fluxbox as everyone's favorite stacking window manager, and dwm is one of the better tiling ones. As mentioned, blackbox is no longer developed at all--I know it's still available in FreeBSD ports, but haven't installed it in years.
I believe XFCE counts as a DE too. There's also LXDE, which, as the DE indicates, is a desktop environment, but somewhat lighter.
