I was like that in GNOME 1.2/2.0 times, tried probably every DM/WM that was packaged for Debian. Then realized the thing I do is "switch between a bunch of full screen apps (especially when we have terminal emulators with tabs and tiles builtin)" and "move them from one screen to another screen". So I sit down, tuned i3 to my liking and never looked back. And now first order of retrievability of most apps is caps lock (rebinded to super) + 1-8/F1-F8, and second order is rofi doing search by window name via alt+tab. Some rules make sure same app always land on same virtual desktop so I just have my stuff in autostart and it lands in right place every time
