Be that as it may, but in terms of usability for me I prefer the
per-tag layout as some programs I need to have the bstack layout,
others monocle and others again tiled. As I need the programs
running at the same time to do my work, it is counterproductive to
have to rearrange the tag layout every time I have to switch to another
tag.

So what you are saying is that if a problem is making the code more
complex one define that this is not a problem and ignore it?

It is like saying all chemical/physical models should be ideal and sod
the real world if the simulations don't add up to reality.

What I want is not the smallest neatest code that doesn't model the
problem-space and is semi-usable. That is not a suckless code (well
except for the programmer)

This said I'm perfectly happy with having patches that
add the per-tag functionality.
