## What it is
workspacer is a tiling window manager for Windows 10+ inspired by unix tiling window managers like dwm, i3, and xmonad. It is fully configurable in C# via a scriptable config file, with support for workspaces, layout engines, plugins, and a status bar.

## Use cases
- tile windows automatically on Windows like i3 or dwm
- manage multiple workspaces on Windows 10/11
- customize a window manager with C# config
- switch to a keyboard-driven window workflow on Windows
- implement custom tiling layout engines
- add gaps and status bar widgets to Windows window management

## When to choose
- you want i3/dwm-style tiling on Windows
- you want deep customization via a scriptable C# config
- you want a window manager that avoids DLL injection

## When to avoid
- you need a polished, bug-free production window manager
- you don't want to write any code to configure your window manager
- you need a tiling window manager on Linux or macOS
