Not sure I understand the last part of that rant. "Why won't i3 admit its a failure? I only use it because it works extraordinarily well!"

- dom0 10y agoDesign failure. It doesn't have any design. It's has no window decorations - except an optional 1 px border line - and the title bar has no controls, and is simply text on a solid background. This makes it what people normally call ugly, unpolished. Nonetheless it works very well. While doing that it doesn't look very well though. IOW: I don't see it as big problem, because that absence of design / uglyness is a nameplate feature of it. Like a command line interface - it's ugly, but works. In fact, looking at xfce right now again, I'm inclined to say that the simplicity of i3 would look better - design-wise - than what xfce offers.
