I works differently from i3: you predefine screen zones (possibly overlapping), and then just move your windows between them with keyboard shortcuts or middle mouse button.
IMHO, covers the problems you mentioned. You can have:
- multiple windows in one zone with normal Z ordering
- an improvised taskbar for any zone or a group of zones
- zones that stack windows vertically or horizontally or tile them in a fixed grid
- zones that dynamically adjust size depending on contents
- windows of certain app opening directly into a certain zone
- floating windows
- widgets (the easiest one is simply showing text from a URL with XQuery or JSON parser)
- customize the hell out of it with WPF
It is now one of a few things holding me back on Windows: until I have it or something else very similar running on Linux, I have no replacement to manage my 3 screens the way I like it.
