In case anyone missed it - here's another tiling window manager for OS X that popped up a few weeks back on HN: https://github.com/koekeishiya/kwm It's quite pretty: http://imgur.com/a/tWBSg
Does anyone know what that borderless terminal is?
The reasonable solution is to use one of the many native tiling applications for OSX. I personally use Spectacle[0], but there are many others[1]. They aren't xmonad, but then again OSX isn't Linux.

Sadly all the tiling window managers i've tried suck on multi monitors though. When i switched to 3 monitors i gave up on tiling wm (for once with 3 monitors i had A LOT more space).
XMonad has the feature that you can freely swap workspaces between screens. For example, you can show workspace 1 on screen 1, 2 on screen 2, and then switch them around to 3->1, 1->2, or any other combination you prefer. This is a killer feature for me, and I've never found any other WM capable of doing that.

I figure I'll just ask this here. Why can't you use something other than Aqua?
Aqua is the default window manager[0] for OS X, so any default OS X applications will be using Aqua-based windows. When I say "focus follows mouse doesn't work in Aqua", I'm saying that you can't get (proper) focus follows mouse behavior on "regular" OS X application windows, no matter what other user-level program you install to handle window management.
You can decide to use something that only manages X11 windows (which is what XMonad does), but then you're stuck using only X11 applications. (Back when I tried it, even getting an up-to-date X11 build of Firefox on OS X was a pain).
[0] I don't think the term "window manager" is quite correct here, but since OS X divides things up differently from how Linux/X11 work, it's the most analogous concept.

Does anyone know what that borderless terminal is?
almost certainly iTerm. You can config an iTerm profile to have borderless windows in recent-ish versions.

The settings is Preferences -> Profiles -> Window and then select "No Title Bar" in the drop-down for style.

just a nitpick: I'm pretty sure Aqua hasn't been a thing for years now.
I was an avid Xmonad user on my Linux desktop but never was able to get it working quite right on OS X. I would love if that would change. Unfortunately I don't see anything new on the link posted here.
