Almost the same here. Tiling window managers under windows suck (especially
when you have to have that ugly windows console open, which refuses to size
to
any usable proportion). Only I stuck with wmii. I quite like their
philosophy.
Although I'll have to switch soon, when I get a second monitor, hehe. Too
bad they
don't support that...
The apps breaking are minimal on my setup, only the occasional java gui
freaking out :-)
but you can't blame the window manager for that...
I found that the comfort, rapidness (is that even a word?) and accessibility
of a tiling
window manager outweighs all it's problems. I repeatedly find myself hitting
Win-3 when
working under Windows, trying to get the window manager to jump to my
Vimperator
or Win-S trying to maximize a window...

Greetz!
