Regarding the uniformity...

I started using tiling window managers a few years ago. These took a little configuring. I always had one monitor with an emacs session, and then another with an internet browser, and a terminal running tmux, which again needed a bit of configuring.

It took me wayyy too long to finally try EXWM[0]. Suddenly, I have that uniformity and consistent experience everywhere, and only a single configuration language to learn and use to get things how I like them.

If you like both emacs and tiling window managers, I strongly recommend it. My only major gripe is that the single threadedness can be bothersome on occasion, when certain commands can render it unresponsive. But it is still well worth it for me.
