I do. Actually I got into i3 because of the poor performance of my laptop at work (I do NodeJs/Springboot development btw).
I must run Linux (Ubuntu 18.04 now) in a VM on a Windows 7 host and with Gnome it was too memory hungry and the UI was freezing quite often.
I feel very productive with it and I use the mouse way less than I used to.
I liked it so much that at home I also do development on Arch Linux (also in a VM) and also use i3. My i3 config is in private git repo. Nothing fancy like I see on reddit.com/r/unixporn with i3 gaps. I basically copied almost all the config from https://github.com/jessfraz/dotfiles https://github.com/jessfraz/dotfiles
