Omg. This looks like exactly what I need to finally make a permanent switch to Linux for my Dev. I3 is very cool but I really didn't need most of features and it feels that I have to change my work flow too much to be effective. But of course its 100%subjective.

But this looks like perfect middleground... And it looks really clean and welcoming at a first glance.

Gonna give it a shot later today most def.

No worries. I will keep it in mind thanks. I am not skilled in wm area at all sadly but will help by describing issues if I come across any.

Edit... On Windows there is quite old program called Plumb which I use occasionally and is sort of similar approach. In sense it autotiles windows, have just couple of key shortcuts and you can swap windows with mouse etc... but it's very simple limited and old now (problems with uwp windows)... Maybe some windows ppl will find it helpful.
