Just search for either e17 or enlightenment, sgreger. It's one of those two, it installed with no issues for me in the past through yum. My personal preference for window managers runs i3 > ratpoison > evilwm, at the moment. If you thought gnome was already clean with little extra crap to remove, check out this though:
That's i3 in tabbed mode. Normally I like running it stacked, but lately I've been enjoying tabbed for the nice screen conservation it lets you have, basically giving everything the most space it can. Pretty much everything is keyboard driven, so you don't really need to use the mouse ever if you don't want to.
As for shells, I do like zsh. That said, it's not a huge improvement over bash unless you're a real hardcore power user, in my opinion. It does some things, like tab completion, slightly better. For example, if you hit tab and there's multiple ways to complete it, zsh will give you a list of all possibilities right away, rather than bash where you need to hit tab twice. If you enter a directory path with no name, zsh will automatically switch to it like you'd typed cd. It's also got improved aliasing features. It's a lot of little nice things that can be cool, but I don't know if I'd say I consider it a big enough gain the you really have to switch.
It can be cool to learn and become proficient in the various shells. As long as a shell has a vi mode, I'm cool with it, though.
