@kkarhan The way I understand it, is it's not tiling in the standard sense it's taking a lot more care to respect the sizing of the windows being tiled so as to not cause typical tiling issues. Along with also providing the user a lot of control over how windows can be placed
makes sense, as I'm convinced it's not done with some simple extension but actually a lot of work.
And whilst Windows isn't a good example, the basic tiling functionality and ability to just use Super + Arrow Keys to just move and resize applications is super intuitive and I hope that to be used there as well...

I'm personally on a dynamic tiler, and I really like it (with 9 virtual workspaces), but it indeed looks weird sometimes to see like a control panel with two sliders take up the whole screen. I just personally don't care that it's ugly for that 20 seconds I need to use 😂
But FWIW, a new API through which an app can communicate what size it would feel comfortable being in seems promising.

At this point, using a DE without autotiling (in my case Gnome with pop shell) feels painful
