I just use Slate to snap window to left or right. It's not quite like tilting wm but it works quite well. I have no problem with it.
And I do use Emacs, so there wouldn't any problem of splitting with those either. The only thing I miss from tilting wm is its minimal an simplicity. I used to use arch linux with dwm, configuring, patching creating shortcut just take a few line of code here and there, love it :)
