Can you please elaborate more on how vertical setups help your
organization? I use a 2x2 setup too, but mainly for keyboard
navigation purposes, something that would not be forbidden by
the tab concept.

I do. :) One of the things that always bothered me about workspaces
is how static they are and how they exist regardless if you are
using them or not. It's a waste of resources and represents an idle
empty thing which no purpose, which makes the user experience feel
less tidy.

Oh, I certainly support the idea of using as much as existing code
as possible, but on the stage of brainstorming I avoid being
constrained by that. :)
