What's the good window manager for a beginner?
As far as wms go, I always liked fluxbox and xmonad. Openbox has its fans, and i3 is very popular. I prefer a de over a wm but I know a lot of people use i3.

Yode-Nvim - Focused Code Editing for NeoVim
I had little success with manual splits because I was busy resizing most of the time. Therefore the idea with windows that are always as big as their content. The code for the windows is already built so that the logic per tab is interchangeable, how the windows should behave. You just have to implement more layouts, as I call them. The concept comes from Xmonad. In this link you can see examples when you scroll down to "Layouts": https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib

How do you handle variable monitor configurations?
Now coming to the xmobars themselves, https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/blob/master/XMonad/Hooks/StatusBar.hs has everything you need and will only spawn and kill the requisite number of bars depending on the number of monitors connected. You can even have different bar configs per monitor (for ex: one with tray, rest without).

Minimize(d) windows: list, open from list, open all
Right, the it doesn't see windowFilter is because I added this function to window bringer recently (Aug 15, see https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/pull/594)

[help] UrgentHooks with xmobar
I also wanted to rewrite the API of some EWMH-related modules to make use of https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/blob/master/XMonad/Util/ExtensibleConf.hs, but we should probably prioritize getting stuff merged. If you'd be willing to help, I'd be happy to guide/mentor you. There's just one little problem: I'll only be online for a coule hours in the next week and a half. :-/
