I took a look at it since I'm learning cl. lem doesn't appear to have a concept of emacs frames? I have all the HiDPI display area that I could ever want, and an fvwm-based emacs dev configuration evolved over 25 years. The feature mandatory to my (and only mine) dev happiness is to have overlapping emacs frames with the mouse used to rollover often barely visible frames to autofocus them when needed. My memory cache of which frames are important when is helped by where I place the frames on the screen. This is optimally efficient for me, it's a pleasure to work in.

Although I dearly loved terminal turbo pascal/c, I really detest tiling only window managers/apps.

I just built lem-sdl2 from git and I'm poking around the "Workspaces" "docs" and I'm not seeing what I need. Am I missing something? I'd say, "oh boy, so cool" if I am. If I am not missing something, darn.

[edit: make it clear I built the sdl2 variant on debian testing]

A yes or no would be cool. I understated a bit on why I love working this way, and it is interesting that that isn't important to the several enthusiastic advocates here. Noted.

Sorry, I only recently started contributing and don't really have an answer to your question. I'd venture to say there aren't that many lem devs/"enthusiasts" browsing this thread so I can only speak from my own limited experience. You're free to open an issue to get better feedback though. Also, I'm having trouble visualizing the workflow you mentioned with overlapping frames, do you have a clip/screenshot or something? Using the mouse to focus overlapping emacs frames just sounds like a window manager thing in my head.
