And Xmonad and the like seem primitive compared to just adding
tiling goodies (Divvy, SizeUp) to a standard WM to get the best
of both worlds.
I don't use Xmonad and I don't know what you meant by "the like", but Awesome WM is vastly more powerful[1] than the OS X WM with any add-ons that I've encountered.

- sjs 15y agoBy "the like" I mean tiling WMs. "Primitive" was the wrong word, I should have said "intrusive". I used tiling WMs almost exclusively for quite a while. My problem with them is that they tile by default, which is fine for some things but I find it much less intrusive to add tiling actions to a "regular" WM. So I can do things like "move this window there", "make this window occupy the left half of this display", etc. I found that I really only ever wanted a handful of these kinds of commands. Your mileage will almost certainly vary.
- keithpeter 15y agoI'm afraid it would with such a plugin/script on Ubuntu Unity as the menu associated with each of the tiled windows would appear in the top bar of the screen, but I intend to play with this in Unity 2d... http://markhansen.co.nz/xmonad-ubuntu-oneiric/ http://markhansen.co.nz/xmonad-ubuntu-oneiric/
