FWIW: I have been using xmonad for work for 20+ years and during that time it has crashed zero times.

How about the other ones? wmii and xmonad would be the next on my suggestions queue, since they are also "fancy" tiling wms, followed by dwm (my personal favorite). While not as extensively featured as i3, they handle multiple monitors pretty elegantly IMO. | |

So your problem is (was) that you have your windows tiled across two monitors and alt+tab cycles between the two most recent windows instead of all four? This seems like a job for a tiling window manager. Have you tried any? There are plenty of them. awesome, i3, wmii, xmonad, and dwm are among the best. Though for your purposes, I would suggest i3(1), since it is simple to pick up (reading the config file teaches you both the controls and the configuration basics) and is tailored to multi-monitor (xinerama/xrandr) setups.
