It simply lays out all of your applications so they utilize maximum screen space. I then discovered tiling window managers, specifically i3.
I didn't want a fancy start menu, a color-coded list of applications, or super-fancy effects as I moved around the environment: I simply wanted to use the application while the desktop stays out of the way.
A while back I found myself going the opposite route: I'd run most of my applications full-screen mode so I wouldn't need to interact with the desktop. Lots of people seem to like their Mac and Windows desktops since they provide a wealth of integrated features. Enter i3, a tiling window manager that stays out of the way and maximizes productivity. If anything, I find myself enjoying desktop environments less and less because they get in the way of applications. It doesn't really matter if it's Linux, Windows, or a Mac as long as I can get to my applications. I'm one of those people that doesn't really have a preference on desktop environments.
