It is the primary tile I use ☺ But I do use some other tiles quite extensively, as well.
Let’s see, right now I have open 11 IE tabs, 9 Chrome tabs, 7 Outlook messages, 2 Word documents, 2 Excel workbooks, 1 PowerPoint deck, 6 PowerShell sessions, 1 Terminals session, Skype, and 3 GVim windows. No wonder I feel ADD.
