I've got all my consoles set up to only open in workspace #1, my text editors open in workspace #2, my work browser in workspace #3, and my distractions browser & slack open in workspace #9. All of these things are a keystroke away. Within each of those workspaces, I am one keystroke away from: 1) tiling all windows to see them at once, or 2) Make them all full screen and flip between them with the equivalent of alt-tab.
None of this requires the mouse and so it all quickly becomes muscle memory. I don't really have to search for anything because it's automatically managed into neat piles within their own workspaces.
I also effectively get 10 times the desktop real-estate compared with a non-tiling window manager, because I'm more likely to use all 10 workspaces when switching between them is a matter of pressing command+{workspace number}.
