    Never heard of anyone using that. If I want tiling I use a tiling WM.

      Indeed.

      I'm using 'awesome WM' for quite some time; and it really is.

        And what if one wants tiling, compositing, and tabbing? I'm not aware of another WM that does it all.

          And now Kwin doesn't do that either

            Don't worry abandoned KDE users, Gnome's Mutter, via an extension, does tiling.
            Come to Gnome, we have tiling!

                    Most people who just surf the web, this is not an issue. For people who do actually work, with several windows and workspaces, this might be a problem.
