I mean, just like how you can organize tmux windows in tmux sessions, you can organize gui windows in workspaces and containers to arbitrary depths.

which GUI offers that? i have only ever seen a single level: workspaces and windows and tabs. that's not enough.
by using tmux i get those three GUI levels and the three levels of tmux

The ones I mentioned: i3/sway. There's probably other tiling WMs that similarly allow organizing windows into trees of containers of arbitrary depths. The containers being able to be set into 4 different modes for displaying the containers/windows within: split horizontal, split vertical, tabbed, or stacked.
very well, thanks. i'll give that a closer look.
