never been a fan of them myself, but then i don't sit in a terminal (or rather, multiple terminals) all day, either. those days are long behind me. i very much prefer a traditional stacking wm, and also one that remembers window geometry and locations, too--a trick windows has done since forever, but gnome and kde still require addons to pull off.

    Eh, Windows still needs PowerToys (mainly FancyZones) for a better experience. I like around a 30/70 split between Windows Terminal (for PowerShell and WSL) on the left and some primary application like a browser on the right. It does have keybinds for shuffling through a stack of windows but only on the side that has focus. It still really needs a way to swap focus between zones that isn't Alt-Tab'ing until you're on the desired one or grabbing a mouse to click a program in another stack.
