This works great--when it works. As others have noted, this isn't very useful until you configure the keyboard shortcuts. But once you do that, it's great--for a while. I don't understand what's different about my setup from everybody else who seems to have it working. For me, the extension worked fine until I log off, then on the next session, it somehow seems to be disabled (doesn't respond to keyboard commands or new window creation), even though it's definitely enabled according to its options. This is extremely frustrating, because when it works, it's really quite nice, better than the other tiling window manager extensions I've found so far.
