Both are more painful than a simple keystroke. And you can immediately go back to the same window configuration you were at after you've done the copying.

Same here. I have some workflows where I need 3 windows. The times I need more occur once every so many months.
Reading all the comments on this submission, I don't understand why people are associating tiling WMs with "many windows on the same virtual desktop". Tiling WMs also have virtual desktops. I personally like that I don't have to manually maximize anything any more. What I'm really grateful for is not having to manually move/resize/switch windows around when one is overlapping the other. It's very painful when I have to use a system that isn't a tiling WM.
