It's nice that people don't have to learn Haskell just to use a decent window manager :D I get frustrated just watching others work - it seems like they spend half their days looking for, resizing or moving windows around. Hope it catches on.

Edit: Getting some downvotes and I realized I sound like an xmonad snob. I really don't judge, I just think people deserve something more efficient. If you like your window manager and workflow, then that's great! :)




I appreciate a combination of the two approaches, tiles and overlapping windows, so that I don't feel limited by constraints imposed upon me nor need to manage minutiae like this through endless configuration.

I suppose that depends on your idea of efficiency. Mine is that I'm not fighting the window manager, playing Tetris with all the other tiles, to get things displayed how I want. I find that far less efficient that Mission Control and App Exposé, though I'm as aware as you that others have their own workflow.
