I never understood why its a big deal that windows are leaves of a binary tree? Its that good? Not trying to be snarky, just curious.

Same here. What's problem does this solve? Or, is this just a neat proof-of-concept project? This isn't a loaded question, I'm genuinely curious.
Navigation of the windows to which one is focused is no longer keyboard driven. Many just move the window into the largest leaf, and rotate the rest.

Focus will still follow your mouse I believe.

The binary tree concept just is a way of sorting the windows such that the rotation is predictable regardless of tiling layout.

ahh cool thanks.
