"Magic lamp" effect looks much more professional than current "Zoom to task bar" effect. I think that "Magic lamp" should be the default minimize effect. Before changing effect, bug #771871 needs to be fixed to make the effect work correctly.

This negative space is like the middle part of a paper fold in an N-shape.

The windows would then be the vertical parts of the N.

As you know windows with equal Z or depth location (this is normally not possible) can't overlap.

Now what happens to the N-shape if you try to make the two vertical parts onto the same layer/Z-Location? The N-shape is unfold and the negative space becomes positive (or 0 if you look at it as a unstretching rubber band). The 2 windows are now tiled.

In other words: Window tiling can be done by having one window trespassing the Z-Space of another window, forcing the windows to move out of their ways with a smooth animation.

To reduce the amount of locations in Z, windows which do not overlap have the same location in Z if there is no evidence that they can't be in the same Z-location (a window is between them and overlaps with both).

Note that in this solution there is no visible grid, but I think (but I'm not sure) mathematically any window arrangement situation as we have them in todays window managers can be described using a grid with irregular cell sizes IF negative spaces are allowed to do the overlapping.

This page explains what's gTile: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/28/gtile/
It's not a full-blown tiling WM, of course. But it's way better than anything presented in Ubuntu right now.
The only thing that is lacking in that extension is an ability to save workspace configuration or assign application to position.
