I am not really on i3 for speed, somehow the tiling concept just works for me. When coding and testing I think it saves a little bit of time arranging multiple console windows, editor and browser. It also might save me a bit of time when wrangling different side projects/trains of thought, I can just keep one set of windows open on a workspace and switch to another. Another thing, slightly related to getting actual work done, it removes the need to mentally keep track of the tab order of windows. I might remember what my last workspace was when switching spaces (got the option enabled to press the current workspace hotkey to go back). Note I am also quite happy with using i3 for leisure, as in light browsing, gaming, watching movies and a little bit of console stuffs. In that "mode" I mostly use the mouse for scrolling the workspaces and window stacks, slow when compared to a proper hotkeying, but I have the time. Even in that mode I still have a rough "guideline" for workspace purposes (e.g. 0 is for email and other distractions, 6 for steam).
