Scrolling WMs seems to be alt+tab on steroid. Alt+tab is context dependant. Sometimes you'll need to press tab 3 times to go to your note taking app, sometimes 1, sometimes 5. On my computer it's always secondary screen (mod+right) then tag 1 (mod+1). There's still some context, I don't always put everything at the same place, so I've got mod+s to fuzzy find in the windows names. From a aesthetic perspective, niri has slow animations and has one every time you move. That tells me it's not focused on moving instantly and as fast as possible from one window to another, so it's not for me. Sure you can probably configure it to do it differently, and if it was the only option in town I'm sure I wouldn't be too sad, it seems great. But it's made by and for people with different needs and wants than me. > It's like having multiple monitors without having multiple monitors. That's what tiling window managers are at the most basic level for me. 9 tags, 9 monitors in one! But also, I can display multiple tags at once.
