I've been using i3 exclusively for about 5 years. I pretty much only use a single tabbed-mode window because I prefer my apps to take up the whole screen. I also use workspaces to keep things organized (browser in one, IDE in another), and guake/kitti3 to quickly bring down a terminal whenever I need it. Screenshots typically show terminals and video players and IDEs all neatly arranged in tiny squares, but I've never found that type of arrangement productive.
