The whole talk I was hoping to hear even a single word about the proliferation of various tiling wingow managers, alas, there were none. It is an actual new thing in desktop space. There's only been stagnation if you focus entirely on clicking, and dragging, and stuff.

I did say "we don't need a 37th window manager". Tiling window managers are especially included in that list. I know, a small group of people love them and that's great, for them. I was trying to make a much broader point that we need to think BEYOND window managers, tiling or otherwise

But tiling isn't just "a 37th WM that's the same as the previous 36", it actually affects possibility space for interactions. It both removes the need for mouse inputs, and unlocks laptop trackpads to be used in ways I've never seen in a traditional floating environment, on euther linux or windows.
