The resizing algorithm looks cool: panes are no longer in a grouped hierarchy of vertical and horizontal splits, as in tmux or vim, and pretty much every other customizable layout tool. In a grid of four squares, a corner can either be resized in either direction and only modify one other pane. (It's hard to explain; it's shown in the demo gif.) I wonder if you can make "holes"...
Rearranging a layout with more than 3 panes in tmux or vim is always difficult. In tmux it's at least easy to swap panes (C-prefix '{' or '}'), but vim doesn't have any simple way to do something similar. I wonder if Zellij's approach makes it any easier. Maybe it's a UX pattern that is made easier with a mouse.
