I wish someone would make a tiling desktop environment instead of only a window manager to make them easy to use for all without tweaking because they are the future of the DEs.

I wouldn’t say it defeats the purpose of tiling in general - it’s a very nice addition for many of us, but I can see how it lacks utility for hardcore tiling wm users. Perhaps it could be improved if someone have time and skill to step in.
No, “defeating the purpose” definetly is hyperbole. ;)
But if you’ve used tiling before and do a lot of text editing (like developers do) and use the terminal a lot, not being able to use the keyboard for tiling WMs just feels worse than using a stacking WM in the first place, since you feel so held back by the mouse.
