The project has a research value. At least for the author, who had wanted to write their own WM, but wanted to focus on the protocols instead of dealing also with a "low" level language. From the README, the author isn't really trying to sell the WM as something you should be using, instead, it purely focuses on how to build, run and use it.
In a way, yes, I guess showing what can be done with Electron might be one of the reasons too.
I wonder whether a WM written in Java or Python would get the same hate.
- v3ss0n 3y agoQtile rivals any X11 based tiling wm written in C.it had done many things right to a point that everything works out of the box like full blown KDE yet give you ultimate customizability.Performance is never a problem. Alot more lightweight and fast than KDE and gnome. I was using linux For over a decade, tried various WM, stucked with KDE because lack of functionalities and required tweaking a lot on other WMs. Now I move everything to QTile
