dwm requires you to configure your environment in C, and recompile the project. >> You don't have to learn Lua/sh/ruby or some weird configuration file format (like X resource files), beside C, to customize it for your needs: you only have to learn C (at least in order to edit the header file). From a usability perspective, that's pretty awful. Stick with i3 for a happier time.
