I think tiling WMs in particular are somewhat overplayed. They’re amazing tools for a certain class of users with a particular workflow and set of tendencies, but they get awkward for most users outside of that set.
As a multi-OS user of 20+ years and developer of 15+ years they’ve never worked well for me. A more traditional floating WM with light optional tiling functions (think Aero Snap or Moom/Magnet/etc on macOS) has been more productive for me. With tiling I always end up with some windows being oddly sized and unusable, or half my windows being in floating mode which defeats much of the point of a tiling WM.
