I've been using i3 for about six months or so now, and the biggest thing I've realized is that Alt+Tab as a way to switch between windows is such a frustrating approach to window management. Once you have more than two windows I need to switch between, I am constantly losing track of which one is next in the queue.
i3 (and other tiling managers) let you more easily navigate between windows by using their location. I can switch to the window to the left, or to the right, or use i3's tabbed interface to navigate windows similar to a browser, or switch between workspaces. But the point is, the windows are always in the same order, in the same location (unless I move them), so I find it so much easier to quickly switch between them.
