I’m assuming this is better than the built-in tiling that Windows 11 has when you drag them to the top of the screen? I’ve found that to be extremely useful, but I mainly use my Windows desktop for fun and light productivity work…

The biggest difference vs. the built-in snapping is that when you move one window, all of the other windows move in relation to that window based on the layout algorithm you choose, and when you add a new window to the workspace, all of the other windows rearrange in relation to that new window, etc.

In this way, it's very similar to Linux tiling window managers like bspwm and i3, which allow you to arrange your desktop on-the-fly using only keyboard shortcuts.
