• Pros:
  1. system trays applet already works out of the box (still customizable to some extend at least more than gnome system trays)
  2. very good support for Wayland and VIDIA GPUs
  3. easy and quick to customize and you don’t have to deal with CSS if you don’t have much time to waste
  4. better integrated with KDE’s softwares (Kdenlive, KDE connect, Konsole, Kate, Elisa…) which is my opinion some of the best softwares for Linux even better than Windows’s in some cases
  5. friendly community (mostly)
  • Cons:
  1. you have to use KDE with Krohnkite

    If you like using the mouse alot and you’re more comfortable with clicking than yeah there’s really no point in using a tiler.

    If you’re someone like me who doesn’t like using a mouse and are used to VIM or Emacs for navigation then tilers make sense. In many cases using a keyboard is faster than using a mouse. OR you’re a weirdo in the middle then you’d use Krohnkite on KDE.

      I disagree with this. I use keyboard shortcuts for moving my tiles and switching desktops but otherwise I use the mouse. I have found great value in using a tiler, not having to manage windows or having them overlap is awesome.
