No one's looking at this page anymore, but I happened to have the tab open and think it's an interesting question... StumpWM handles windows a little differently than i3. In Stump, every new window simply piles on top of the existing windows. There's no stacked/tabbed/split layouts to switch from. You switch windows with a fuzzy-matching text-completion thing. When you want a split, you give a "split" command, either vertical or horizontal. The top-most (ie visible) window goes into the new split, and the next window down the stack becomes visible in the leftover space. Removing a split is another single command. Pulling a different window into a split is another single command. Almost the only times I want to split windows is where I need to look at something side-by-side really quickly, for whatever reason. In Stump that's one command to split, and another to remove the split. In i3, it's "create a split container", "move to another window", "move this window into the split container", do what you need to do, then "move this window up/out of the split container", then "move the original window up/out of the split container". I regularly get tangled up in the various containers, and have a hard time getting out of them. I freely admit I may be doing it wrong, but I haven't yet figured out how to do it right.
