Linux desktops have been stuck in old habits, and Hyprland breaks that pattern (www.xda-developers.com)

Personally, I found it worth playing around with. I cared less than I thought where I had to move my eyeballs to, once I didn't have to make the decision anymore.

And automatic tiling can also enable workflows that just don't make sense with manual tiling, for example master-stack-layout where basically one window takes up half the screen and the other windows share the other half, and then you swap out which one's the big window as you see fit.

But I also wouldn't have written all that, if I didn't have a way that you can easily try it out: You can add automatic tiling into KDE Plasma via Kwinscripts. Personally, I'm using Krohnkite: https://store.kde.org/p/2144146
(Easiest to install by going through the System Settings...)
