Spatial groups concept discussion

It occurred to me that the reason why the spatial concept was so
different is that it's a method of inter-group or inter-screen
management.

Tiling is intra-screen, how we divide up a single screen to show
multiple application windows without overlapping.

Spatially organizing entire screens together is inter-screen
management, which provides a grid of screens and a desktop analogy to
navigate.

Today the default for this is a variable list of single screens. I
have the impression this is generally a short list, with new groups
made for a specific purpose. However I don't think there is a method
for organizing groups outside of that list.

All the default keybinds work with a short list of groups. For example
next group, prev group, select group from list, jump to group by
function key. In particular C-t F# looks limited to function keys F1
through F12.

Is that truly the case, that most StumpWM users are just navigating
between a few groups with hotkeys?

Are there other methods of inter-group management or organization?
