After using multiple tiling compositors over the years, I’m pretty much set in how my system works. There’s not much I have to do, except the occasional tweak to keybinds for launching apps, adding some window rule or changing my monitor layout. Those are things I’d have to do on any DE and they don’t take any longer.

Until I need something unexpected not yet set up by me, e.g. switching keyboard layouts. But it’s been a long time since I needed to do any of that. That’s the beauty of config files stored in git: Once it’s set, just forget about it.

Edit: I do agree though, the time it took to arrive where I am is considerable and definitely not something I recommend to others who value their time.
