Does anyone use a tiling window manager with Windows 10?

I'm currently using a laptop, and one thing that is very annoying about having a 1080p screen is that there is not much space at all available for your work.

When I used to use Linux as my main operating system, I used to use a tiling window manager which let me snap windows next to each other so I could work on multiple tasks at the same time.

I did a bit of research and found a tool called AquaSnap which looks quite good, but I was hoping to hear what other people do when they have limited desktop space? I could always use the new Windows 10 feature of virtual desktops as an option but I always like tiling windows managers as it made everything so easy to manage especially when programming.

I guess the last resort is to run Linux in a virtual machine and use that for my programming tasks. It would certainly keep things nice and separate, and I'd love to get back into Linux a bit more seriously.

In fact, it might be a fun programming project to make one myself for Windows 10.

Windows 10 already has some built in tiling functionality (will certainly snap to either half the screen, or the 4 corners):

Can't say I've ever wanted to tile even when programming on a 1080p screen, as it's generally too small once subdivided. Having recently got a pair of 2560x1440 screens though, it's a completely different feel, and snapping to the left and right of each screen makes complete sense.

I think I might switch to doing my programming in Linux using a virtual machine. I've just installed Manjaro with the i3wm, and I have to say it is pretty bloomin' good. Like everything with Linux though it is going to take a little while to remember all of the keyboard shortcuts.

Oh well. At least it'll give me an excuse to re-learn Vim to do all of my programming in rather than relying on PyCharm.
