i3 allows the user to maximize screen real estate, and also to minimize time spent adjusting window borders and navigating with a mouse. It’s a huge time saver for anyone who learns a few simple controls. It’s like tmux on steroids.
Sure it’s a convenience, but so is basically everything we do to alter a computer after unboxing it.
- crispinb 8y agoI've never spent any appreciable time 'navigating with a mouse' and 'adjusting window borders' on other OSs. Sounds like those thundering imprecations that we all must use vim or emacs because IDEs require mouse use (which they don't). I agreed it's nice - but essential enough to merit the time sink of running linux? Not for me.
