Dunno how interesting this will be... I've recently made some changes to my workflow since I've switched a number of hefty GUI applications for CLI ones, the advantage being that they tile a lot better and so don't need dedicated tags. But I'm still far from comfortable. A key problem is that one of my newest apps, wyrd, dies if it ever goes below 80 columns wide, which is a pain if you accidentally switch it out of master in tiled or bstack on my 1280px-wide screen.
So: Tags 1, 2, 7, 8 & 9 are tiled layout tags for normal usage. 3 is called www and is tabbed + surf in bstack layout, so I can open download terminals or wahtever without losing the page width (attachabove also in play) 4 is com and is e-mail, calendar and a terminal for running taskwarrior.org's excellent task list application. So, organisation. 5 is net and is cortex for reddit (when it works, which is not so often), two Irssis for identi.ca/twitter and IRC, my RSS reader and also ncmpcc - it's my "fun" perma tag in the sense that 4 is my less fun one 6 is ful and is where fullscreen stuff is set to go, and floating apps - gimp, wine and my PDF reader. At the moment when I hit :w in vim when editing LaTeX, it gets compiled and refreshed in a PDF viewer in this tag. This is good, and the tag starts up in monocle mode, but if I have more than one LaTeX doc open at once it starts to get less useful. I want to make more of use of having more than one tag selected at once, and having windows on more than one tag etc., but I don't really have useful bindings for it. I am thinking I might get some shortcuts to pull in my fullscreen tag into others, when for example I am working with LaTeX, which I do a lot.
