You seem to be getting downvoted but your comment gelled with me. I always wanted to get into a "true" tiling window manager but could never quite give up having some level of finer grain control just for whenever.

I've ended up really happy with rectangle + karbiner elements for the "hyper key" style mod to effectively end up with the bulk of what I want out of a TWM but still vanilla drag and drop if I want.

Between that + spaces I'm about as happy as I think I could be with my window layout these days and can't imagine changing that much any time soon.

I was really happy when they made the padding between windows easily configurable. That said from comments here I think I might give Yabai a go and see how I get on.
