LinuxBBQ "Meat Curtain" is a no-GTK desktop featuring the Window Maker work environment, running on kernel 3.11-6. The Window Maker environment can be configured to the max (either using the WPrefs tool or by manually editing the relevant files) and is very low on resource usage. In fact, Window Maker is the unbloated variant of GNUstep (Release "Golden Shower"), which has more native tools.
To be as GNU as possible, there's Emacs24-lucid added as default editor, along with a few X11 applications, but everything else is TUI only.
Though Window Maker feels a bit "old" compared to modern desktop environments, it is still actively developed and the version on this release is from August 2013.
Give it a try, especially if you run an old (or very old) computer and need a comparably snappy and light desktop environment.
