Interesting paper on dynamic window managers vs floating ones.
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2511.17516
TLDR: tested on a Dell XPS 13 (single screen, Linux), dynamic WM was ~38% faster for common tasks.
My take: tiling really shines on a single monitor — the tag/workspace system lets you mentally map your work and forget about window hunting. With 2 monitors the advantage narrows since screen space.
