I'm currently using i3 as well and enjoy it. The only issue is with certain java-based applications such as PyCharm or Arudino IDE, in which sometimes the windows aren't drawn correctly due to the JVM not playing nicely with "non-reparenting" window managers (such as i3).

There's actually a workaround for this. Most Java distributions have the ability to work with non-reparenting WM's, but they detect it based on the window manager name. So the workaround ends up being impersonating another non-reparenting WM, for instance Sun's Looking Glass. http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Problems_with_Java http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Problems_with_Java
