That's your opinion. Better put it this way in the future: "I like
stacking better than spacebing".

Bad news for me. I'm waiting for wmii to be sspacele (wmii-3) to get
dirty and make a pull request wich includes spacebing.

Just make spacebing not mixable with stacking, so you got one or the
other but not spaces inside stacks or viceversa. Then you got no
additional layer, and can use the same keybindings for both.

Yeah, sure! stacking mode scales so well...

Maybe. I don't know of this.
Anyway who want to have less than 4-5 clients in a view?

And you should point too that any of that reasons/arguments are good
enough. They are all unusable to argue in favor of spaces too! Wunderbar!

(Sorry to put this again on the spacele, but i can't resist it. I still
think that not having spaces is a bad decision. But Garbeam seems to be
unconditional about this matter, so i'm just waiting for wmii-3
sspacele).
