When space is tight, you probably want to minimize the amount that's wasted, right? This usually involes having minimal window borders, and having windows butt up flush against each other.
Letting a window manager (like ion) do this makes total sense.. after all, it's managing your windows. The thing that's really needed is a way to describe how you'd like to see space used, as well as code that tracks space usage, and attempts to anticipate user's needs.
Just saying ``No.'' to this type of technology seems pretty shortsighted.
