A great post on the why you would want to use xmonad from Jesse Andrews: Getting Tiled with XMonad. A choice quote:
XMonad has defeated all other desktop environments
Enjoy!
Why tiling? Why xmonad?

I love xmonad, because its not only the fast ! Its the best WM i ever used. I know many Operationsystems with many other GUIs, but xmonad is soooo good. Its not for the eyes – its for the brain !

xmonad is really appealing, naked and usefull.
it may be specific to me, but is ghc always so big or is it only the archlinux package that is overwhelming (~400MB.. more than jdk and .Net together)
it’s scary, especially if the goal is to have a small system ^^
