I use the tiling WM spectrwm. It lets me pull windows out of tiling mode and into window mode. I think a common operation on most tiling window managers. Most of the time I don't want overlapping windows(thus the tiling WM) but every once in a while I do, so the best of both worlds.

Spectrwm is by far the most beginner-friendly WM I've ever tested. Im now running EXWM the buffers management is something else. Source: over 2 years ago
I'm a recent convert to i3/sway, after a solid decade using spectrwm (which has not been ported to Wayland, I'm afraid). Source: over 2 years ago
Me I like the default Emacs buffer management. C-x 1, C-x 2 and C-x 3 with winner-mode is enough for me. Actually that's what made me switch from Spectrwm to EXWM. Source: over 2 years ago
