Layout-machi is great, however it requires you to use its built-in switcher to manage your open windows. If you are shuffling, swapping, and moving things around often, this could become counter productive.

New layout-machi has some logic to auto expand your windows onto multiple regions. For some work flows this might be desired, but I might look into a way to disable that as I find it to get in the way when changing windows from float to tile. This is especially annoying when you have a centered float.
