I think once you get used to a tiling window manager, like force yourself to use it for over a couple weeks, it's very difficult to go back. Somewhat similar to vim.

Personally, I have 2-3 external 32" 4k monitors and I want to maximize the real estate that's used, tiling wm (specifically i3 in this case) makes it very easy to move windows around, to switch between different screens, to move screens between different monitors quickly. Dragging a mouse across that relatively high screen real estate is a huge pita without i3.

I used to love tiling. But then I started to use apps that needed more than half of the screen: web browser, IDE. Now I put my IDE full screen and the browser about the top right 70% of the screen so that the console output in the IDE peeks out below the browser so that I can see what output is generated when I use the app I’m developing in the browser.
