When I first started using i3 (which is also the first tiling WM that I used for more than an hour), I found the experience to be a bit annoying. By default, i3 uses a tiled layout which becomes cumbersome to use on a laptop monitor when more than two windows are open since each window gets very little screen real estate. My experience drastically changed when I set the default layout to tabbed, so that initially each window fills the screen.
