Yes i tried pytyle2 and 3 eight month ago but I gave up, tiling is definitely not for me!

Re: pytyle3 (+ openbox)

pytyle1 works though.
Additional documentation is here: main page, installation, configuration, key bindings & listing.

It surprises me that I don't hear more people mention how well i3-wm works. It has tiling,tabbed(suckless-tools),floating.It has wonderful documentation and configuration is possible with even my limited ability. https://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html
I use it with pcmanfm on ascii.

Re: pytyle3 (+ openbox)

From playing with openbox+pytyle1 and i3-wm, both have their merits depending on the user's preferences and workflow:
- i3-wm: mainly tiling and occasional floating
- openbox + pytyle: mainly floating and occasional tiling
And probably samewise with other WMs.

EDIT: corrected a typo

I bounce between tabbed and tiling frequently. Floating only for a couple of packages.I agree 100% on your view of user's preferences and workflow.
I should mention that adding suckless-tools and i3status are important parts of my i3 install.
