feel free to list other window managers you’ve used.
I have been happy with bspwm, but considering trying something else. I love its simplicity and immense customizability. I like that it is shell scriptable, but it is not a deal breaker feature for me.
I like how the binary split model makes any custom partition possible.
i3 just works in my opinion, and I can change stuff how I like it. It’s simple and has loads of users, so guides are easy to come by.
I’m using sway because it feels a lot like i3 but for wayland, and I used i3 for years. Got that configuration just right.
For manual tiling it’s surely the best option.
I like having that perfect split up, and tiling then in the perfect way.
