This has been an issue with GNOME 3, and is inherited to cinnamon (I haven't heard people ranting about it yet, though). Cinnamon, the DE, is tightly integrated with muffin, the window manager. It would be nice if the two are separated. My situation is that I find tiling managers (bluetile, in particular) more productive, especially when I need multiple terminals simultaneously running (one for emacs - no offense to vi/vim users - , one for viewing files etc.), but it is impossible to use cinnamon AND bluetile at the same. Time. I have to sometimes resort to xfce for the time being.
I know this is not an easy job and probably won't be done soon, but I'd like to know if it is considered and will it be implemented some day.
