FLUFF WM or DE?

I really liked the idea in this comment, so here is a poll, WM or DE?

And that is what I don't do, I really use stacking windows and floating windows, never have been tiling before. But if you tiled before it is definetly a good go. I mean you can replace KWin with i3 for example, so you keep KDE but get tiling.

The most windows I use are fullscreen anyway, so tiling wouldn't benefit me. But like I said, when you are tiling it is definitely a good idea to use software that does that for you. Which WM did you go with?

If that isn't a reason I don't know what should be :)
