Hi
This is not a review it is a "mention".
My second boy, a very high end astronomer who does the number crunching on things like "dark energy"(that is energy not matter) is now using xmonad.
He previously used a Mac and then an Ubu distro but, has, of late, run into incipient possible carpel tunnel problems.
He has ditched the Mac for a Lenovo style ThinkPad with the button in the middle to minimze hand movements.

And, he uses xmonad for the OS.
He demonstrated how it works, basically four, or definable, number of "tiles"(different than windows I guess) on the screen. Seems very fast and pointed at CLI people of which he is one.
Just a mention not that I am going to run right out and switch.
The below link is NOT to his setup but it gives several excellent examples of how the tiles appear in action:
