    I don’t like stacked windows.

    Stuff that needs to run in the background moves to another desktop, like a console window logging output.

    When layouting with ECAD I also like to have schematic and layout maximised. So wiki tickets and datasheets need to go somewhere.

    It’s easier to handle with a tiling window manager. Sadly at work I’m stuck with windows.

      I’m pretty sure that there are tiling windowing environments for Windows, though it’s gonna be kinda less of a first-class citizen than on Linux.
