dwm is an excellent piece of software, and despite it's steep learning

curve is VERY usable.  Besides having a tiled layout, it also provides

floating views.  Yes, you do have to recompile every time you want to

tweak it, but trust me, it's not difficult at all.  dwm is also very

customizable, you can define specific applications to always have a

particular state (tiled or floating), particular window where they are

displayed, particular shortcuts that spawn them, and the list goes on.

 A menu program is also available for dwm, if you're averse to

keyboard shortcuts.  I use dwm for everything, and I can't say enough

about it.  It is certainly not a traditional approach, that's for

sure.
And if we're "just throwing in some thoughts", I'm going to throw in

that the following statements are very different, and I personally

DON'T see any skewing of words going on:
1. "tiled WMs anyway are useless for a serious audio production GUI workflow"

2. "You can't seriously belief, that such WMs will be good for

_common_ workflow in _averaged_  audio studios"
serious != common
