What would you say for Blender like space management? You can click on that "+" in circle in the upper right corner of the 3d view, and drag it left or down to add new wiev horizontally or vertically. To remove view you simply need to drag border of specific view until it completely disaprears. Let's imagine that you have desktop divided to views that way and you have one maximised window in any of them. It would provide much easier and more flexible desktop management than tilling.
