A few reasons: - I know what is going to happen when I open anything and can get things where they need to be very quickly (since it is keyboard driven).

- The wm is working with me to use the entire screen.

- You can always revert to making windows float if you need it.

- You can use supporting terminal with no title bar which saves space (see here https://www.dropbox.com/s/0f08qa0dbhhc6nv/Screen%20Shot%2020...)

It is occasionally annoying when something doesn't behave as expected but its a fun tool to use in general.

Basically I always get tripped with the fact that I always, always have emacs in full screen, as well as a terminal also maximised. Then I end up needing 5 or 6 spaces to hold all the windows I open and close during the day and starts to get hard to manage. But thanks for sharing your perspective, knowing me, I'll retry in a few months :)

Can you configure the margins between those three terminal windows? I currently use Tmux with one fullscreen terminal to achieve a similar effect, but this looks interesting too. I'd like to eliminate any margins though. A one-pixel border is all I would want.

Absolutely. You can configure everything (global padding, inter-tile padding etc...)
