My issue is mostly with the half-screen vertical split (two side by side panes). Half a monitor is not enough for me to feel comfortable in an editor, so I'd split it 2/3 or even 3/4, but the remaining 1/3 or 1/4 are not wide enough to hold let's say terminals, and using a horizontal split to get the full width for terminals also steals a lot of height from the editor, while full width in terminals is usually not desired, it's between 1/2 and full width what my terminals should be.
So I prefer to alt-tab cycle. Even though I know that this is an extra effort, at least I can size the windows so that they contain the optimal amount of information.
I do use tools which help me with sizing and positioning of windows.

But for me I don't have the same problem at 1440p (and I guess if I had one, 5k at 2x). When I was younger I used to turn the font size way down to make two across work in 900p, but these days I stick to more comfortable font sizes.
