+1 I thought it was quite impressive until reading that comment from someone who works in the design field!

Don't believe that guy, it's still impressive.

Of course design people* don't like good concept art for a tiling wm. It's not "modern", emphasizes work instead pointless high rez stock photos, and acknowledges the desktop.

*not all design people, just a certain flavor

1. I'm actually a big fan of tiling WMs, I use xmonad on my personal archlinux laptop.

2. "concept art" for a tiling wm makes no sense, because as you point out, it is first and foremost something that is work focused. This is why you build functional prototypes.

I see you're also a big fan of numbered lists.

Concept art for a tiling window manager certainly does make sense. Especially if you want to define the appearance of one.
