I tried Amethyst for a few days (no, not that Amethyst). It seemed to work well but I didn’t stick with it. I have never been a tiling window manager person before and I decided I use way too many apps for a tiling window manager to make sense. Getting them into the right configuration only to switch it up a minute later seemed like too much effort.
I also felt like the windowing system on macOS doesn’t help. Closing and opening windows a lot sometimes causes apps to do unexpected things, whereas alt-tabbing keeps everything as-is. I do use https://rectangleapp.com/ heavily for quickly splitting my screen.
