I've been using BetterSnapTool[1]. While it's just a window resizing utility and not a manager I've found it very useful for quickly assigning windows to specific screens and specific locations especially since it has very flexible hot-key preferences. Divvy[3] is very similar to BetterSpanTool though it's more flexible with the sizing but requires more slightly configuration to setup shortcuts. Divvy also seems to lack the hot-corner feature of BetterSnapTool.

Still, it doesn't solve the problem of maintaining specific screen states or remembering positions across sessions. For example while working without a second monitor I'd really like one set of window configurations to automatically take effect and as soon as I plug in a monitor I'd like all the windows to automatically assume another configuration. I gave Breeze[1] a try, but I found it very finicky and it rarely actually remembers my window configurations and it didn't play well at all with spaces.

Tyler seemed promising because it would eliminate the manual configuration, window organization, and window state problems. I'm a bit disappointed to see it isn't ready yet but excited to try it when it is.
