I’m not currently using i3 (restrictions on using Linux at work). So having switched to i3 and then back from it, I can’t say whether I was faster or not with it. What I do know is that I could maintain a flow state significantly better with it. The combination of i3 and a workflow that was almost entirely centered around terminal based tools has been unmatched so far in my experience. i3 was also particular helpful when I had a single 24in monitor. In a constrained monitor environment there was no comparison. Workspaces with easy switching made i3 far superior to the alternatives. For me personally i3 is fantastic when I’m using the same tools across work sessions. If your tools are constantly changing I don’t think it’s as useful because you cannot build muscle memory for which workspace to switch to, to perform a certain task or access a certain app.
