I used Windows 2.something on an old Compaq 386 (16MHz) and it didn't automatically title anything. There was an option to tile (or cascade) the current window set, but a new window would not cause a retiling. Neither would a window closing.

Windows 1; not 2

-Because of a lawsuit from Apple.

Fwiw, I've seen some people demonstrate a robust and efficient keyboard based workflow using floating window management. Sometimes it's a simple matter of what you set out to learn.

Yeah, I prefer tiled windows (XMonad) but I use my mouse for a lot of things, it's not because I need a keyboard based workflow.
