The biggest issues I've had with i3 are graphics related. The first is drawing at X's borders when having multiple panels connected leads to flickering and graphical artifacts. This means triggering any window/video to go full screen while you have output on more than one monitor. It's not a unique problem to i3, but most other WM's handle window drawing in a different manner. The other issue I find more annoying. That's tearing while scrolling and playing video unless a compositor like compton is run. This appears to not be a problem for a lot of people, in the way that using frame interpolation on tv's doesn't bother them. For me though, it drives me nuts. Compton by the way hasn't had development in over 3 years.
