How hard are Window Managers to use?
You may also want to try xpytile https://github.com/jaywilkas/xpytile/ or zentile https://github.com/blrsn/zentile
- gTile or equivalent
- Are there are DEs or WMs that support auto tiling as PopOS does?
-
Light weight tiling manager for XFCE4 (and others) - a zentile fork with multi monitor support.
I guess this should work for zentile but per https://github.com/blrsn/zentile/blob/master/config.go I am seeing just ignore, not window.ignore? That might be something you know better about. (ignore = ['ulauncher', 'gnome-screenshot'])

Anyway to snap application windows to corners, instead of half screen?
Not out of the box, but there's utilities like zentile that work on EWMH-compliant window managers to make them tile -- I'm not sure if elementaryOS's WM, Gala, follows that spec, but if it does then it should work.
- Is there a program like rectangle for Ubuntu?
-
xfwm and i3
No. But you can use zentile

Linux: We Need Tiling Desktop Environments
Shoutout to cortile at https://github.com/leukipp/cortile which is an app that you install on top of lxde, xfce, gnome etc and enables tiling features. Great alternative to a fulm blown i3wm when ypu are sharing the computer with less savy users

Is there a way to get hot corners in Xfce?
I didnt use it but a while ago stumbled on https://github.com/leukipp/cortile
- Light weight tiling manager for XFCE4 (and others) - a zentile fork with multi monitor support.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing zentile and cortile you can also consider the following projects:
terminator - multiple GNOME terminals in one window
xfce4-hotcorner-plugin - Xfce4 HotCorner Panel Plugin
quicktile - Adds window-tiling hotkeys to any X11 desktop. (An analogue to WinSplit Revolution for people who don't want to use Compiz Grid)
