Unity has a nice layout. I really do like the Ambiance and Radiance themes. However, I just feel that the window manager itself is lacking. KWin has an excellent tiling mode that automatically handles all my window needs without having to drag, resize, or keypress. I can focus on the information and the work.

My question to you is: Is there a way to get Kwin or another similar tiling window manager to work within Unity so that I can have the benefits of both worlds?

I've been using Unity-2D with KWin for about two weeks now. In the login screen, choose Unity-2D as your session type. Install the kde-window-manager package to get kwin. Then fire up a terminal and run kwin --replace &!. You'll probably want the systemsettings and kde-config-gtk packages for configuration.
