You can use it with the mouse like a tipical wm, with overlapping windows. Or you can customize it using a lisp variant (much closer to scheme than clisp, with I think is much better) to perform any action by keystrokes.
You have also many plugins to do different things. And various methods for tiling windows. I'm still missing some way to make it tile like stumpwm does, however. Missing some emacs-like way.
