I like to mix pleasure (compiz - wobbly windows, cute effects, the cube, fancy app switcher, variable window opacity, screen magnification, etc) with discipline (tiling windows), and those two - XMonad and qtile - will make discipline ruling my entire life/desktop. Where's the fun in that? When it comes to tech work though, I'm with you here. I used tiling in eclipse http://help.eclipse.org/juno/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/tasks/tasks-3g.htm and when push came to shove (tiles too small) I even committed the heresy of editing source files outside eclipse using separate gedit windows (Alt + mouse drag) side by side and then import them back into the project. Used the same side-by-side thing with PgAdmin query tool when doing db logic. Now for the last two situations (gedit and the query tool) if I had a container to tile those windows for me would've been nice. Anyone happen to know any such app?
