I think tiling is great for terminals, but not for the whole desktop (I don't want my web browser or video player to be resized because I open a new program).
So I use a "normal" floating environment (xfce, but could be another one), and I use Terminator in full screen enabled on a specific shortcut, so that I have tiled terminals.
