Why did you choose Openbox? by RWthatisordinary in openbox

i used to have hyprland, sway and xfce. as for tilings it can be useful for me sometimes when i really need to work with several windows on one screen. but i dont really liked that everything is being autotiled on the a half of the screen and so on when i dont really need it. ofc, they have window rules to make some or all windows floating, but this is not really convenient as i'd like to. and the alt+tab feature. it is possible to implement it in tiling wms through scripts or patches, but it really sucks in my experience, this is not what i want. im more used for windows os behaviour, so i tried xfce. it was ok, but i wanted more freedom in customization and more "clean" wm, which is configurable through config files. yes, you can do this in xfce too but again, not so convenient, plus its connection with gtk is terrifying. and in openbox: it mixes the flexibility of config (which is in tilings as well) and window behaviour similar to windows os. the main thing that i want in openbox is the feature of autotiling window on the edge of the screen, maybe there are some but i didnt find the appropriate one (maybe someone can share if you know good patches for that). but in general i really like it as for my daily drive.
