Best Tiled Window Manager

Just found this page Best Tiled Window Manager

And was wondering what is best since Dell Dispaly Manager is not always aligning to the corners (links to the apps is in the first link)

My sense of "what is best" is "none of the above".

Reason: I know Microsoft is not always the best to work with but I have learned that introducing 3rd party products just brings in other issues. If not immediately, then eventually, as one side or the other updates.

Also prefer not to develop a reliance on software that will (and most likely) disappear or otherwise become unworkable.

I will concede that that is more of a philosophic answer than a technical answer.

But simplicity, even when imperfect, has its advantages.

Barring some really serious problem(s) a third party manager should not be necessary.

Just forget Dell's Display Manager and learn to work with and accept the native display manager.
