[azubinski]

If your toolbox (dictated by your profession) is slightly richer than console applications, you automatically dealing with the applications which are natively "tiled" inside the application windows. And you work with maximized windows of your main applications (natively "tiled" inside) and with a set of small applications that you need to access periodically and these apps do not require full screen mode.

You can alt-tab between them on a single screen, you can switch or swipe virtual desktops with them, you can do anything, a result will be the same.

There are no advantages because of this sameness.
