i3 is a dynamic tiling window manager with clean, readable and documented code, featuring extended Xinerama support, usage of libxcb instead of xlib and several improvements over wmii
Fucking yes. I also have Compton (picom) installed and just switching between workspaces is so addictive. Besides, it's just really efficient for the kind of stuff I do on my laptop, and the keybindings are a blessing.
I have compton just for transparent terminals. Probably not a wise use of resources but w/e. I love the ease in adding key bindings through the i3config and not needing to learn an additional programming language to modify it slightly. I have a friend who runs awesomewm and he's like "oh yeah just write lua scripts to move the time over here". I dont have the time for that, basic i3status is plenty fine for me.
I don't like transparency much but I noticed a little tearing and lagging on Firefox if I have vlc running on bare openbox and i3. Goes away when I have Compton so I use Compton.
Also yeah, i3 probably has the easiest config of them all. Openbox is easy too but XML is a bit of an eyesore. I like both of them, and openbox is even lighter but I really need my tiling.
