That's very enlightening actually. Different use cases and work types have different needs and require different setups I guess, yeah.
I'm a programmer, so I often have a window open with documentation, or the result of my work, beside my editor. But rarely do I need to keep typing while looking at the other window, so that's a different scenario for me. Every window is kind of my "main" window, you could say. Very linear work. Do an edit, examine the results; repeat.
Thanks for sharing your perspective!
Congratulations: you are now wiser than a Gnome dev.
Why do I sense some resentment there 😅
I dunno, I never thought they made awful decisions. Just very opinionated and perhaps inflexible, but I think they made them in the name of progress and outreach (thinking of Gnome 2 to 3 updates). A lot of conservative power users were upset. But I was excited, even as a long-time user. I thought it looked fresh. Then I discovered tiling window management.
