workspaces don't work for me. I constantly need to see 2-3 windows from different apps together and which 2-3 change constantly meaning to see them together I'd have to move the windows across workspaces every 10-20 minutes.

Documentation + editor

Editor + Terminal

Editor + Issue Tracker

Terminal + Issue Tracker

Issue Tracker + Testing Result

etc. etc.

I don't "context switch". My context is "getting shit done" and for me it requires access to many many windows at the same time.

Check out dwm. It has a different concept from workspaces called 'tags' which is close to what you are describing.

FWIW, moving a window to a different workspace is also constant-time (shift+mod+digit). Maybe I'd spend another half second positioning it among the tiles (shift+mod+vim navigation keys), but only if I'm just starting a project.
