From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Well I guess they just don't think it is necessary to have a n-ary tree. I use i3 but I rarely have more than 2 windows open per monitor (apart from my floating scratchpad terminal). Usually I have just two windows side by side per workspace. So if I would switch to bspwm I wouldn't really be limited by it. That is also my reason for not switching to a dynamic tiler: I never split my windows enough to where it matters.
