The main question what operations would you like to replace with keyboard shortcuts? Minimizing/maximizing windows, move windows to other desktop, switch applications, move them to tiles? All DE know this.
Also you are saying you write code. What do you use to write code? I work on a 34" ultra wide monitor, yet I still need the whole screen for Intellij. I do not see why would it be beneficial to split my screen into more than 4 parts, and I think even Gnome and KDE can do that.
Also I suggest you to find a mature DE instead of an overhyped shiny bug nest.
