Probably, yes. I think this is probably true of any customized TWM. For me that speed comes from the superior workspace management and less from the keyboard navigation. In gnome I find that the switching through alt-tab, super-tab and the dock is terribly buggy and constantly accidentally taking me over to another space, breaking my focus totally. I probably have undiagnosed ADHD and i3/sway allow me to maintain a very neat, totally distraction-free environment. I found myself coming up with scripts to keep my contexts static in gnome, but it's a losing battle.
