What Hacker News says

I use xmonad when I'm on linux. Now that I'm required to use windows, I use python-windows-tiler[0]. The one thing I sorely miss about xmonad is its multi-monitor support. You get nine workspaces. Each of these is monitor independent. It is trivial to put ws1 on m1 and ws2 on m2, then switch m2 to have ws7. The tiling window managers I've found for ms Windows simply don't have any concept of having workspaces independent of monitors. Every workspace always take up all of your monitors. On linux I'll usually have a browser workspace, an ide workspace, an email/chat workspace, a console workspace, etc. And I'm able to rapidly put any combination of workspaces on my set of monitors.
