I used to really dislike the tiling, but now I'm mostly ok with it (especially once I realised RStudio is designed to be used fullscreen). It's certainly a huge improvement for new users, since they never lose windows behind other windows, and the same type of thing always appears in the same place. OTOH if the projector isn't particularly good or the room is large, and you've cranked up the size so everyone can read it, it can be hard to fit everything on one screen.
