I currently is bspwm on my personal laptop, and work on a Mac, and it was a brutal change to go back to a non-tiled wm at work (I tried without as an experiment to see how I'd feel about it when I first got the new work machine - the jury is in: It's absolutely awful; Yabai is heaven in comparison). As far back as the 1980's when I was using an Amiga, I'd always effectively work full screen or with carefully tiled layouts if I couldn't...

Perhaps a vim + tmux + magnet (mac app) setup could work for you?

I detest vim far more than I detest overlapping window managers ;) Yabai works ok. It's not ideal but its close enough.

Thanks for the recommendation then, I will check yabai out :3
