I find it leaves me with too many odd sized windows that aren't terribly useful. I think it's one of those things that bother some people and not others ๐คทโโ๏ธ
For example, the terminal along the bottom in OP's screenshot wouldn't help me all that much, it's too small for me to do much with unless I'm just looking at a very small piece of a log or a very small status display. Most of what I run tends to be about the size of the window in OPs upper right so I just stack and use the GNOME overview or super+tab to switch. I find the GNOME overview model really, really helpful.
I wouldn't mind laptop tiling if I could have windows that maintained their size and (relative) position on screen but shrunk down to a miniature version when they weren't focused. Sort of a hybrid between an overview and tiling, where the window expands to it's original size and position when focused.

weird on lemmy i see a much longer post lol - oh the ferdiverse
anyway, I think it's more preference for sure - I use touchegg as well with this with my own setups/gestures and it makes comparing lots of data quickly work out for my work flow. I do a lot "this" vs "that" - so for me it's great
I posted by accident before I'd written everything so that's probably just the edit landing first on Lemmy.
