As a longtime Unity user, I hope they maintain the tiling-by-keyboard function of Unity in the new GNOME (or maybe it's a part of GNOME already). I like using the keyboard as my main input for everything except scrolling. The more I can use the keyboard on a laptop, and the easier it is to know those hotkeys (holding down Meta key on Unity), the better. If you haven't used Unity in a while, spin up a 17.04 VM to give it an hour or so of use. Makes you appreciate how far it's come. |

At the moment you can only maximize to the left or right. Depending on the work done during GUADEC the quarter tiling functionality might be ready for GNOME 3.26. It actually already was available in one unstable version, then taken out in the next version.
I'm really looking forward to better support to divide your screen. With screens such as 2560x1440 it helps to have more options than just "two on one screen". Some people also use e.g. a huge (e.g. 40") 4K monitor. Then you'd want really good window management.
