Yes. I'm aware of and will use those features on Linux.

I don't use nor like tiling much, due to overlaps and how I find myself using them.

Some here are saying more iteration could improve on that. Maybe so. I'm sure not oppose to giving new things a go.

Just so you know xfce's window manager (or at least the xubuntu version version of it -- there may be patches not present in the upstream) allows focus follows mouse and has overlapping windows...

EDIT I might be confused here. I'm reading that you are assuming that one has to use a tiling WM to get one of the features you want.

Not at all. It's all good. I know about xfce, etc...

I do prefer overlap with those features, among others, present.
