Spectrwm doesn't have stacked windows in the way that i3 does. It has
much the same layouts as dwm, xmonad etc., i.e. with a master window
plus others beside it or beneath it, or fullscreen.

matter of personal taste which you prefer. Of course, tiling WMs in
general are an acquired taste and they are not for everyone.
