Yeah, a few years ago, I went on a journey from KDE -> AwesomeWM -> [some more tiling WMs] -> BSPWM.
I found both the tiling and BSPWM's no-minimizing / use-lots-of-desktops workflow very nice, but thought that having a desktop overview in the panel would be extremely helpful with that.
And well, you guessed it, after trying a bunch more things, I landed back on KDE. Been using Krohnkite and now its spiritual successor Bismuth (mainly because those support KDE's Activities, which work really well for grouping those many desktops) and to me, that has just been a massive upgrade to BSPWM in every way, even in the disciplines that BSPWM was built for.
Obviously, BSPWM certainly still has its place for minimalism and if you want to Bash-script your environment, but yeah, just massive props to the KDE community for having such excellent support of non-standard workflows.
