Hi, thanks for advice.

One of the big pluses is pinning an app to a workspace. When I boot, I
get two xterm windows in workspace 1, a browser in workspace 2, and my
email client in workspace 3.

That sounds interesting. At the moment I do the same at startup with
xdotool set_desktop n
and
xdotool * windowsize *
So that way I emulate tiling WM with floating one, but still have possibility to move windows around.

A change in the config.h I highly recommend is moving the MODKEY from
Alt to the Windows key:

#define MODKEY Mod4Mask /* windows key */

This doesn't conflict with any apps I use, and it makes sense that the window manager uses the windows key

That's a reasonable choice. I actually do the same in my environment. W-key is probably the only way to not interact with any app. Should be default one in my opinion.

Anyway, I've received enough recommendations to give the DWM a try.
