I use vim. This is a bit of a troll, but the baseline feeling is that people who’ve used a tiling window manager (as a group) are probably more interested in computers than people who haven’t.

People who like tiling window managers are the sort of people who think every year will be the year of Linux on the desktop for the last 3 decades, i.e., nerds, so I don't know how much their taste can be trusted.
These are mostly systems they've come up with themselves rather than UI researchers actually studying it. Research finds things like that keyboard shortcuts aren't actually faster than mousing, people just experience them as faster because they take more focus.
