That seems like a non sequitur. The whole point of a tiling window manager is that you can map windows in and out of the grid -- they don't all have to be on screen at once.

There's no way for me to know the min/max size of a window in order to verify it can be automatically inserted into the grid. A lot of mac apps set their minimum window sizes to an annoyingly large value, making tiling those windows impossible on my 11" macbook air.

Also keeping track of individual windows through the accessibility api is not a trivial task
