If you're on Windows and are upset that nothing like i3 exists, you can get a useful but watered down i3-like experience by:
1. Using Windows 10's snapped windows along with various Windows key + arrow key hotkeys[0] for managing windows.
2. Using DexPot[1] for hotkey controlled virtual workspaces (same ALT + N hotkeys as i3)
3. Using Keypirinha[2] for fuzzy finding programs to launch (similar'ish to dmenu for launching apps at least)
Combine that with WSL + tmux + terminal Vim and it's not bad for day to day development. I've been using the above for over a year for full time development and while I miss my i3 set up on my native Linux laptop, it's manageable.
