If you are thinking about replacements for KDE and Gnome you may want to
check out: Fluxbox and/or Blackbox (fluxbox is based on blackbox).
http://fluxbox.sf.net
http://blackboxwm.sourceforge.net/
These are window managers, NOT full desktop environments with lots of
config tools. Seeing as I do
most of my configuration through a prompt anyway these are perfect for me.
I've used fluxbox for nearly a year now and really love it. I've never
tried blackbox but those who like it swear by it. I still use a number of
KDE tools (e.g. color picker and screen shot tool) but that's all I ever
wanted from KDE--just one or two things.

You can always change your editor to something else as well.
