I'm a very happy user of SizeUp[0]. I did pay $13 or so, but money well spent. Functionally, I wonder if amethyst is the same or better. It's definitely nice to have this free option.

I haven't used SizeUp, but it looks similar to other tiling window managers in that they give you keyboard shortcuts to move windows around. Amethyst is modeled on xmonad which has more of a philosophy of the application should be doing the laying out for you, and then you just need keyboard shortcuts to tweak the layout algorithms as necessary.

Not necessarily better for everyone's use case, just solves a different problem.
