Until recently, I had been using fdpowermon for a tray icon, along with
some scripts I wrote to fill in what it couldn't do. But someone
recently turned me on to the new mate-power-manager, which is like the
old xfce one, but no xfce4 dependencies. it is in the Debian repos.
seems to work well so far. I run a minimal-install Debian system with
only Fluxbox as a WM.

time when I decided I wanted to try a tiling window manager. i3 was easier
to configure than other WMs (such as awesome) and I really liked the idea
of always using all of the screen. I always have a lot of terminals open
and now I don't have to worry about arranging them in a way I can see
everything at the same time.
As for ease of use, Fluxbox might even be easier than i3, at least to a
user coming from Windows or OS X.

Once I heard a talk by maddog someone had uploaded to Hacker Public Radio
in which he said that some software isn't "abandoned" or "dead" but rather
"done". That was a really interesting point of view. So while I appreciate
@nagyt's concern, since he's considering Fluxbox for their product, maybe
it's simply finished.
I don't use Fluxbox anymore (I'm using i3 now) but Fluxbox was my WM for
three or four years. It still has a special place in my heart.
Why do you find i3 easier and better than Fluxbox?
It isn't necessarily easier nor better. I'd been using Fluxbox for a longin which he said that some software isn't "abandoned" or "dead" but rather
"done". That was a really interesting point of view. So while I appreciate

Best thing that happened to me since kde 3.5 was abandoned
Same reason here :-)
KDE4 was a nightmare to me, so I searched for something light, fast,
stable, recource-friendly.
Use it on debian sable since (always the version in the repos)
Simple and fast
This version has a few minor bugs but works fine for me
