  1. So, I came here to repeat what I've said in a reddit thread. For a lot of people who work with a number of windows this is a killer feature that is often gets sweeped into other categories, like "Customization" or "Flexibility", but really it's a league of it's own. Tiling WMs They are very popular among Linux users, and they allow for radically different and more clean and effective workflow where windows are always 100% of the screen, they don't move around on it's own, your workplaces are split and positioned like you want them no matter how many times you switch between them and you are fully in control. Stacking just doesn't make a lot of sense if you think about it - if you have a lot of windows open and have to constantly switch between them most people would have these in fullscreen and switch around by alt-tab or mousing over the panel. It seems that even stacking users prefer having windows to be 50/50 of screen space when moving files for example - because often you would put two file manager windows next to each other by using smart snapping or use a two-panel file manager. Stacking allows for much less chaotic experience, where apps don't get to steal focus, you can very conveniently open a few windows, like a terminal, documentation and your editor in one logical organized space and then switch to another without anything being moved. Per-app rules allow to have your browser always on the second tab, for example, or always on another monitor, etc. You really have to try it and hop this learning curve to see what is it you are missing. Another thing I feel obligated to mention is how better Linux filesystems are. What other operating systems have to de in Hardware like Optane Linux does with bcache and ZFS freely and effortlessly.
