Are you tiling everytime from scratch when you reboot? Windows not ending up where they have been last time? How can you call that #tiling? I tried it and its horribly compared to any decent #twm.
@dino
I prefer clean sessions but I could have it retain after reboot. Does it work as well as sway? No, but it's perfect for my needs and preferences (easy theming and gestures, but with tiling)
Edit - oh no I'm not setting the windows by hand. The tiling does... hope I'm following
I mean, can you provide a video of what you do when booting? Because to my knowledge the way you tile your desktops is not even saved between sessions? This is not what tiling is supposed to be in my book, its more hassle than benefit. But after 10 years of KDE use on my home desktop, I am also quite fed up with most of it. Windows rules disappearing/being deleted/renamed for now reason is just another reason.

Thanks for the video. If I understand this correctly, the way you tiled your desktop is saved, aka having on big window left and two horizontal tiled windows on the right. But where the windows are placed is determined by which window you open first? aka first window being left, then top right and after that bottom right?
