Automatic Tiling for EWMH Compliant Window Managers (by blrsn)
cortile
Linux auto tiling manager with hot corner support for Openbox, Fluxbox, IceWM, Xfwm, KWin, Marco, Muffin, Mutter and other EWMH compliant window managers using the X11 window system. Therefore, this project provides dynamic tiling for XFCE, LXDE, LXQt, KDE and GNOME (Mate, Deepin, Cinnamon, Budgie) based desktop environments. (by leukipp)

- Good OpenBox alternative with lots of functionality?

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

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

What are some alternatives?
