217 people have certainly not told me anything. Maybe you're confusing me with OP, I think you're the only one who has replied to my 2 comments.

However I just looked at the rest of the comments to see if I was missing something, but no, no one has addressed what I'm saying. Maybe there is some property of a tiling wm that I don't get, but to me if a window is maximized, that means it occupies the whole screen and there are no other tiles visible. Whether the other non visible windows are tiled or layered is moot. I think what I want is a way to organize and select windows that has nothing to do with how they are layered in the Z axis, or tiled in X and Y. It's a logical problem, not a physical space problem.

Again, I'm selecting between a bunch of maximized windows 95% of the time. I don't deny the use cases for wanting multiple windows to be visible at once, and tiling is a good solution for that, but those use cases are rare for me. I spend a trivial amount of time rearranging and resizing windows. This is the only thing I hear people say tiling solves. This is a non problem for me.

However I've never used a timing wm. So I'm all ears if there is something I'm missing.
