I’ve toyed with tiling on GNOME as well. It’s a fantastic feature when you can easily toggle it off and on.
I don’t often use tiling on my laptop, it doesn’t usually do what I want at the time, but it’s really helpful when I’m plugged into a couple of 32in 4k displays.
I find it leaves me with too many odd sized windows that aren’t terribly useful. I think it’s one of those things that bother some people and not others 🤷♂️
For example, the terminal along the bottom in OP’s screenshot wouldn’t help me all that much, it’s too small for me to do much with unless I’m just looking at a very small piece of a log or a very small status display. Most of what I run tends to be about the size of the window in OPs upper right so I just stack and use the GNOME overview or super+tab to switch. I find the GNOME overview model really, really helpful.
I wouldn’t mind laptop tiling if I could have windows that maintained their size and (relative) position on screen but shrunk down to a miniature version when they weren’t focused. Sort of a hybrid between an overview and tiling, where the window expands to it’s original size and position when focused.
weird on lemmy i see a much longer post lol - oh the ferdiverse
anyway, I think it’s more preference for sure - I use touchegg as well with this with my own setups/gestures and it makes comparing lots of data quickly work out for my work flow. I do a lot “this” vs “that” - so for me it’s great
This did come through by the way, but it took an extra 15-20 minutes before the comment would actually load in my client. I got the reply notification immediately but couldn’t load the comment until a bit later.

I tried replying from mastodon to no avail… I think that’s interesting since I find tiling crucial when I don’t have an extra monitor

I posted by accident before I’d written everything so that’s probably just the edit landing first on Lemmy.

Interesting, I like tiling when I don’t have multi monitors
