| De gustibus non est disputandum. That being said: at home, I use a tiling WM exclusively (dwm), and the main attractions for me is that it's (a) uncluttered and (b) fast. Not just fast because the WM is snappy (though dwm certainly is), but because a whole layer of decisions on moving and positioning windows is taken away. I use three main layouts, none of which require me to do anything except start applications (and maybe switch workspace and possibly tiling mode): 1) Full screen -- e.g., web browsing. 2) Two windows side by side -- e.g., text editor & REPL. 3) Variation on #2 where there's more than one window stacked on the right -- e.g., a spare terminal for general file management or whatever. Swapping windows from the 'stack' to the 'master' area is a single keyboard operation. I have nine workspaces to play with (pedantic point: dwm uses 'tags' rather than workspaces, but for the purposes of this discussion they can be considered the same), so I can keep different tasks cleanly separated. And almost all WM tasks can be done from the keyboard: the only exceptions are moving and resizing floating (non-tiled) windows, which I almost never need to do. |
