Eh I used i3 on my personal laptop and work desktop for about two years but eventually traded it in for Gnome and don't miss it. i3 does make me feel more productive but I don't think it actually made me more productive. The idea that switching between windows in a slightly suboptimal way decreases productivity significantly is just not true in my experience. What drew me to Gnome was that the font rendering looked better and it's the default option for Fedora and now Ubuntu, so setting up a new workstation is super easy. I'm on Windows most of the time now. Still have a laptop with Fedora and Gnome for when I need it though.
