Sway and i3 stand out to me as “correct” window managers. You get the upsides of tiling (windows don’t occlude one another, no fiddling with exact window placement) but without the typical cost of memorizing loads of keyboard shortcuts (though key combos are still an option).
It’s so intuitive to drag around and resize windows with the little preview outlines showing where the window will end up when you release it. I wish the paradigm were more popular; once you’ve tried it going back to floating windows on macOS or the like feels laborious, even with 3rd party tools. I even feel like some simplified version would work great on touch devices like iPads. It wouldn’t be that different from SplitView, other than supporting more than two windows.
