i3wm is amazing. The documentation is awesome and config files are in plaintext. Believe it or not, that's a selling point for minimal window managers. I had a look at a bunch of other wm's and some common themes I found were that configuration files were in a programming language and documentation was "the mailing list and irc". If I had to learn a new language or have an irc chat room open for every piece of software on my machine, I would never get anything done.
