It does take some time to get things setup the way you want it, indeed. I'd argue that it takes pretty much the same amount of time as coming up with a nice WM configuration for i3, bspwm, you name it. You can think of wmutils as a WM with a shell-based configuration file, thus providing all the composability power of the shell.

Having a simple, working setup is fairly easy, especially if you use a simple WM like glazier or swm to handle the mouse pointer.
Then you can use this sxhkdrc as a starting point:

Code:
alt + {h,j,k,l}
  wmv {-10 0, 0 -10, 0 10, 10 0} `pfw`

alt + shift + {h,j,k,l}
  wrs {-10 0, 0 -10, 0 10, 10 0} `pfw`

alt + x
  killw `pfw`

alt + Tab
  wtf `lsw | head -n1`; chwso -r `pfw`

Then, when you need a specific behavior, you can make a script that does what you want, and bind it to a key. You will construct you workflow piece by piece, over the time.
