> Most of the time we work on a single maximized application, otherwise we have some windows side-by-side to see both and so on. Use case for floating tend to be zero. Try telling [John Siracusa](https://atp.fm/96 https://atp.fm/96) that. Seriously, I'm with you, but I think there's a significant set of users who are not.

Well, I'm listening it now (so far no anti-tiling, so I can't directly answer for now) but I can share my personal journey, as nearly all I've started with floating windows, at a certain point in time I've realize that's not a nice thing, there was a path: - first, no more icons - then a quick launcher - most of the time living in a CLI - then a first test of tiling with i3 used just in mere tab-mode and I've felt the sense of being a bit lost for a moment BUT after anything seems smooth enough - finally the enlightenment switching to Emacs/EXWM I've experienced a similar path when I ditch my decades-old hyper-curated home taxonomy to org-attaching all my files accessing them via org-mode, org-roam managed, notes. I've hesitate MUCH, I've tried for very long time with limited set of low importance files and so on. Evolution is scaring when it's a kind of revolution and you know it's not a game, it can be painful as well, but it's the reason we are not in caves anymore, so it's a thing humanity have embraced. Not all, of course, I bet a very small minority, but that minority is the one who steer the evolution, others follow. Long story short if we advertise our findings, the reasons behind a specific move, and a little bit at a time we spread the idea, things will happen. Even if today many say we are at the end of the history the history never end. Those who think the contrary can talk about themselves, meaning they count not to change themselves, and generally are wrong even at that, we do change, we like it or not anyway...
