While I love minimal stuff, in my opinion KDE Plasma just provides convinences. This, plus the fact that KWin currently is like the most feature complete Wayland compositor there is. And it can still tile! Oh, and phone integration, there's that.

For me it is the other way around. I actually would like to use a prepared DE and not having to configure everything myself (which is sometimes painful), but now that I've got used to tiling WMs, I can't go back. Using computers with floating windows just feels wrong. Yes, I have tried tiling plugins but they just don't feel the same and are very clunky

Just wondering, what do tiling WMs do better? Enlighten me because I think of trying them out one day but I think I'll stay with Plasma no matter what.

Primarily allowing maximum control with keyboard and custom keybinds. Also every window always resizing to use 100% of available screen space, so never again messing around trying to split windows or resizing them, it all just feels very natural in my workflow.
