I feel like my eyes can only look at one thing at a time. I just have shortcuts to switch between programs.
Why do you prefer using a tiling WM and how do you use the tiling functionality in your workflow?

I use it extensively when at my desk as I have 2x32"@4k monitors and it enables me to make best use of my screen real estate without a huge amount of manual faffing about sizing stuff.
Its especially useful when I want to open a new terminal (or similar) window as the tiling manager just resizes everything, then when I finished it resized everything back again.
I can float any window I like any time, or set it to always float if that’s the best thing for it.
I have to test stuff on windows frequently during the day (I do so via a EM hosted on my PC that I keep in a separate workspace) and even with the power toys tiling tool it never works anywhere near as well as it does with the Linux tools have tried.
When my laptop is undocked I do not use it as its just 13" so its never as practical as I like, so I just disable it at that point and everything floats. I find that the bigger your real estate the more useful it is. Smaller screens separate workspace are more useful to me, not that I do not use them with my larger screens as well as I do, typically one work workspace, one windows workspace, one personal workspace at any one time.
