> You can control nearly everything from the keyboard
Personally I'm still waiting for a tiling WM with mouse support - having used a few keyboard based WMs, and having used Eclipse, I find Eclipse to be by far the nicest. The only problem being that it's an application panel manager, not an X windows manager :(
Ok, for the dragging part I would have to come up with something, but theoretically, your desired features are possible. I just need some spare time to implement the layout plugins and come up with a good way to handle keyboard shortcuts in nested splits.
kwin is working on this. They ripped the tiling logic from the core somewhat recently but I believe they either added it back as an addon, or are in the process of doing so. You can email their ML for more info.
