I have no good experience using a tiling window manager, but some months ago I started using QuickTile ( http://ssokolow.com/quicktile/ http://ssokolow.com/quicktile/ ) to tile windows in Gnome 3. That's the best of two worlds. There is also a shell extension for that, but it is still too crude for daily usage: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/28/gtile/ https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/28/gtile/
