Why not? I use a tiling wm and I love it. I'm able to make my desktop act exactly the way I want it to act. I don't appreciate my windows being rambunctious. If I'm on a machine without a tiling wm I generally using everything maximized and alt-tab like you say. But that's still usually an extra click after opening an application. I also love tmux, but I have a coworker that doesn't see the point. So, having options is nice. I want to be able to work the way I want. I also want you and my coworker to be able to work your way.
