^ Fascinating explanation, thanks!
Here is suckless' own take on the advantages of the tiling paradigm:

I tend to agree with them
EDIT: try swapping bash for mksh to save a few MiB for each shell process that you run; it's also twice as fast as bash, which is nice.
I find that dwm (with the appropriate tiling algorithm) closest approaches my ideal workflow and whenever I switch to a stacker I find that I'm wasting too much time moving and resizing windows.oswaldkelso wrote:Usually it comes down to a fight between the terminal/desktop, tiling/stacking, keyboard/cursor or just plain bling.
Lots of youtube clips look choreographed and quite spectacular but when you see a tiling WM with big gaps between the tiles over use of the golden ratio it's failed already. Even a master with 2 or 3 smaller slaves takes up more screen than a well configured panel but offers little on a single workspace. How many of these windows/tiles are you actually looking at and any one time?
