Anyone who has given at least one of them an honest try, and then decided accordingly that tiling window managers do NOT work well with your specific workflow: Why don't they?
I mean this neither sarcastically nor rhetorically, nor do I intend to solicite any objectively bad takes any hotter than my own; I'm actually asking.

#ScribesAndMakers 3/13. Self-Promotion Day. Let's boost away.
There is nothing shameful about self-promotion.
All my books (and my wife's) are at taupress.com/books
There are also free books when signing up the newsletter (gosh).
#ScribesAndMakers for March 13:
It's self-promotion day.
That it is.
Did you know I've written and published most of an urban fantasy fiction trilogy featuring government corruption and answering that age-old question of "What if the cultists are actually in the right"? You do now! Teaser chapters and where-you can finds over at: sanityline.net
Also, while we're on "also", did you, personally, know that I make gizmos? It's true. The main one is PETI, a virtual pet with retro sensibilities running on modern hardware. You can learn about that and all my other writing and making projects over at arcanalabs.ca
We finally got around to actually proving out a cursed idea for getting access to USB devices from *Firefox* (which refuses to support WebUSB)
this approach is horrible and inefficient, but it allows access to a device without requiring *any* user intervention or permission prompts (the device has to opt-in to this hack of course, it doesn't allow access to arbitrary things)

This does not look like human behavior. Again today, my Mastodon account is followed by dozens of new anonymous accounts, and they all follow exactly 40 other accounts.
@renchap I do not want to be reading tea leaves here, but can you understand my concern that this could be a bot net system generating spam profiles in bulk?
Can you think of any technical explanation why I am seeing so many similar accounts following exactly 40 other accounts?
There are of course many bot accounts, so that could be the explanation for these, but if you are part of a starter pack you will get many accounts following you that follows the exact same list of people.
I can’t find a starter pack at fedidevs that contains you, and as far as I know they are the largest collections of starter packs, so it’s a less likely explanation in your case.
I have had abusive emails, comments, social media posts, and entire articles. Today I received my first abusive _source code comment_. 😁

A Rare Sighting of the Pelican Eel...
The pelican eel's most notable feature is its large mouth, which is much larger than its body. The mouth is loosely hinged, and can be opened wide enough to swallow a fish much larger than the eel itself. The lower jaw is hinged at the base of the head, with no body mass behind it, making the head look disproportionately large. Its jaw is so large that it is estimated to be about a quarter of the total length of the eel itself.

It’s so wonderful to inspire and collaborate as colleagues and friends. Exchange-portrait-session on a windy walk with Simon.

in reply to Day Use X Mockin' Uh • • •for me, it's less about the window manager and more about the machine. On laptops I prefer tiling for two reasons. (1) I simply hate using trackpads, and I'm usually using my laptop on any surface other than a desk or table. A keyboard driven workflow here is essential. (2) Screen real-estate is premium.
On my desktop PC however, I have a dedicated mouse and large mouse pad. I also have a large 27" monitor so I simply have have no need for a tiling window manager.

I have tried many WM over the last 30 years. I just do not like tiling Window Managers. It is just not the way I work. I do about 80%+ of my work from the CLI so it is just not a need for me. I do like using Awesome WM (the only tiling WM I liked) on Gnome DE instead of Mutter. Though currently I have just been using Mutter. I used to like the Bells and Whistles of KDE for the first few years after it came out in 1998 though it got fat quick and feature bloat was premium. When Plastic released Gnome had grown up a lot from the first time I used it in 1999 and I have used it ever sense.
I have Cosmic installed on my system because my 9 year old granddaughter loves it and it is her preferred WM.

in reply to Day Use X Mockin' Uh • • •I was pretty much a fan of floating windows for forever (Mac, Windows, Gnome, Openbox) until Pop_OS introduced their Pop Shell extension (auto tiler for Gnome) and tried that out for a while – now I’m on LabWC with a handful of hotkeys set up to emulate tiling
three main takeaways from tiling I get are: no overlapping windows (nothing hidden), workspaces (one Youtube video claimed workspaces were tilers’ killer feature), and keyboard focus (hotkeys everywhere)
