Like vim or emacs?

Yes. There's reasons the popularity of those is waning.

It's called "tiled window management". Lots of people find it more comfortable to use than the classic overlapping windows.

It's got nothing to do with tiling. There's plenty of other software out there that's meant to be used with tiled windows. The interactions in Blender are unique to Blender, non-intuitive and non-discoverable.

There is a tiling window manager INSIDE blender used to control its window frames. It works pretty much like any other tiling manager. You immediately grasp the idea if you've ever used one.
