Overlapping windows are hard to manage, especially -from the keyboard, and the user often ends up in a jungle. Not to mention the -application programs, which are even worse.

Ion (the -last three letters of vision =-) was written as an example and an experiment of -something presumably better (just the window manager, though). - -Ion simply divides the screen into frames that take the whole screen.
