A tilling window manager is just that, a window manager. It manages
windows, resizes etc. A desktop environment is a complete set of tools
including applications, applets, utilities, a window manager etc. Most
of the applications we are using today with any kind of setup we run
are part of some DE, with some notable exceptions like transmission.
But that's beyond the point, TDE seems to be an interesting project(
btw you can e.g. run i3 as the window manager in kde replacing kwin
with some pretty sweet integration if you really want).
