Insane for my workflow when coupled w/ SKHD. Wouldn't use macos w/o it.

Glad there's someone else who's seen the light, I'll never go back :). I wish it was more natively supported, it might make me make the switch to MacOS for good (well if they fix their new trash keyboards and ditch USB-C).
I used to use chunkwm and yabai but ultimately shifted away from using it after I got an ultra wide monitor. It’s a pretty faithful recreation of bspwm and sxhkd but I do feel like that form of tiling doesn’t work that well on ultrawides. Something more akin to xmonad like amethyst or i3 (equivalent doesn’t exist to my knowledge) seems more useful in that realm.

I’m now using hammerspoon to handle window management. I do wish that there was more support for this baked into MacOS itself, the performance of all of these is quite bad compared to their counterparts in Linux.
