Absolutely agree. Use what works, and we should always be grateful to have good options.
However there's a lot to most of the tiling window managers that never clicked for me. I've always assumed it's a personal problem. Perhaps I have spent an unreasonable amount of time thinking about "why not?"
I'm not good at remembering keyboard shortcuts. Ctrl+Z seems to be all I need.
I've tried sorting and categorizing apps into tags, but it makes me slower. If apps open on a virtual desktop that I couldn't see, I'd just lose it. If I can't see something it stops existing pretty quickly, which makes even too many virtual desktops a losing battle.
Inconsistent behaviour will always pull me out of whatever I'm doing. 4 apps tiled, 5th app opens in a floating window, now I'm distracted.
For now I use a single 4K monitor at 100% scaling with a couple of virtual desktops. Current task(s) and background apps.
I haven't spent much time managing windows since. Once the windows are open for the day, that's a solved problem. Memory is cheap. Windows mostly open where I left them last time.
There's a certain cognitive load to keeping all of that straight. The computer is supposed to do the thinking and apparently I can't.
