I've been bouncing between tiling and pseudo tiling on lightweight wm's on Linux - I guess I'd say the advantage to tiling is a more intricate layout. It's just more strongly defined[1], which can be a pro or a con depending on your screen, what applications you're using, etc. I find for programming, tiling can be helpful bc I just don't have to think about window placement, but if I'm switching between many tasks frequently the flexibility of stacking is always nice. Overall, it's just subjective. 1: In general - this does vary within tiling WM's too. dwm is more dynamic (hence the name) then i3 or imo bspwm.
