Simple, small and extensible. It's easy to write your own layouts, widgets and commands.
Configured in Python.
Command shell that allows all aspects of Qtile to be managed and inspected.
Complete remote scriptability - write scripts to set up workspaces, manipulate windows, update status bar widgets and more.
Qtile's remote scriptability makes it one of the most thoroughly unit-tested window managers around.

My Keybindings

The MODKEY is set to the Super key (aka the Windows key). I try to keep the keybindings consistent with all of my window managers.

Keybinding	Action
`MODKEY + RETURN`	opens terminal (alacritty is the terminal but can be easily changed)
`MODKEY + SHIFT + RETURN`	opens run launcher (dmenu is the run launcher but can be easily changed)
`MODKEY + SHIFT + c`	closes window with focus
`MODKEY + SHIFT + r`	restarts awesome
`MODKEY + SHIFT + q`	quits awesome
`MODKEY + 1-9`	switch focus to workspace (1-9)
`MODKEY + SHIFT + 1-9`	send focused window to workspace (1-9)
`MODKEY + j`	switches focus between windows in the stack, going down
`MODKEY + k`	switches focus between windows in the stack, going up
`MODKEY + h`	switches focus between windows in the stack, going left
