> This may come as a shock to you, but some of us prefer our highly-tailored pre-configured tiling setups to the ad-hoc interaction that is i3.

Yes, that's why i3 and other wms exist on Linux and everyone is happy using the tool they prefer.

I'm more upset about the title of the post being clickbait because like you said, some people prefer different styles of tiled window managers.

Having it defined as "tiling window manager" is going to make the 50% of the people who prefer i3 feel they got baited into clicking the link. I know I went from "omg best software day ever" to "..." between reading the title and clicking the link.




Probably closer to 80% :).

I get the baited feeling. But you know as well as me that any sort of tiling interaction with Windows beyond snap left/snap right is progress.
