I use a combination of both tiled and floating windows on dwm as best suits whatever I'm doing at the time. It's hard to put a rationale into words, so I'll simply have to say "it works for me" and leave it at that.
Why is it that I see so many screenshots from tiling WMs that actually don't have tiled windows on them? Why using a tiling WM when you don't tile?
Fair question.
Well I can only speak for myself but I of course use tiling and only have floating windows for the pop-ups and a selcted few apps (i.e mplayer).
When it comes for screenshots I use the floating windows plainly for "cosmetic" reasons.......
