I hadn't seen Stack before. Have you used it & would you recommend?

It's extremely fast and intuitive to use, middle button to drag windows to zones (or whatever you configure). It comes with some decent layout templates.

However the template system is in XAML which is fine if you're au fait with that but can be a bit fiddly to get what you want.

The only other issue I have with it is that the full version - which is definately worth the money - is distributed via the windows store which forces you to have an account with Microsoft. Overall though, excellent.

I'd be biased: I wrote it :)

The PowerToys tool lacks many things, including multiple monitor support, tabs, etc

Aha, cool. I shall give Stack a try. I see there's a trial on the ms store.

Agree 'FancyZones' is pretty undercooked at this stage. Promising though.

I'd give it a try if I still developed on Windows. I find it amazing no one has made a good tiling window manager for Windows yet. On Linux I use i3 and love it. Back in the day I used that auto-hotkey script that did window tiling. It was okay, but kinda buggy.
