AquaSnap
Drag and drop your windows to the sides or corners of the screen, and they'll automatically be resized to fit one-half or one-quarter of the screen. This feature is just like the built-in Aero Snap function of Windows 10, but with more possibilities. This is especially useful on either a 4K monitor or multiple monitors. Be more productive with the best tiling window manager for Windows. Sometimes, splitting your desktop into halves or quarters is not ideal. When two windows are side-by-side, resizing one of them while pressing will also resize the other one. It's an easy and powerful way to modify the layout of several tiled windows. AquaSnap allows you to easily align your windows by making them behave like magnets. This simple feature is the cornerstone of AquaSnap, and has been carefully designed to assist you without getting in your way so you don't waste your desktop space.

herbstluftwm
The entire configuration happens at runtime via the tool herbstclient. So the configuration file is just a script that is run on startup. All configuration options, window rules, virtual desktops, and keybindings, can be updated live without the need to restart the window manager. Every virtual desktop (called tag) consists of a tiling and a floating layer. Windows in the tiling layer fill up the screen space and the floating windows can be placed freely above them. all monitors share the same pool of tags. You can switch the contents of two monitors with a single keystroke.

bspwm
bspwm is a tiling window manager that represents windows as the leaves of a full binary tree. It only responds to X events and the messages it receives on a dedicated socket. bspc is a program that writes messages on bspwm's socket. bspwm doesn't handle any keyboard or pointer inputs: a third-party program (e.g. sxhkd) is needed in order to translate keyboard and pointer events to bspc invocations. Monitors only show the tree of one desktop at a time (their focused desktop). The tree is a partition of a monitor's rectangle into smaller rectangular regions.
