I think of all the people who have/might ditch an external author, the specific OP here has the best use case.
UX/UI designers are definitely #1 among the people who should use computers in a way closer to their target audience.
But also using a tiling window manager makes using a tiny single monitor extremely effective.
1. There is almost no wasted space. Almost the entire space is used for your content. It maximizes screen space better than any other paradigm there.
2. Automatic and effective filing meant I was far more likely to open windows besides each other much more rapidly (and way more conveniently) than I could arrange windows between monitors.
3. I haven’t used DWM, but i3 instead, and it was the only software where multiple desktops actually felt almost as effective as having actual multiple windows.
The low graphical requirements of tiling window managers (I’m pretty sure their rendering is way faster because the display is so much simpler) meant that they could render a new workspace faster than I could turn my head from 1 monitor to another, and easy KB shortcuts made it ridiculously easy to switch between desktops.
Let’s say I was copying 1 document’s text manually to another, it was probably quicker for me to type, hit Alt+2 read what I needed to copy next, hit Alt+1 to go back to the writing workspace and continue typing, than it was for me to type, turn my head to the other monitor, read, and then turn my head back to the 1st monitor to continue typing.
