Looks like my stort of style. but I think im happy leaving it at qtile and i3 (spent enough time playing with this).. Plus while qtile is my favorite i3 is the most popular so I feel I've covered my bases with those two choices.

@freemo @johnlitt well you should give it a shot one day! Pretty easy to write scripts for it as well

How much i enjoy it will basically boil down to how easy it is to get it looking nice, and how far i can take that.

@freemo @johnlitt well it works with i3bar, polybar, and Compton. Has gaps be default. So it shouldn't be hard

Thanks for the heads up on qtile! I've been happily using i3 for a few years now but the siren song of even-more-insane customizability sure is tempting...

I actually was really surprised to find how obscure qtile was particularly along side i3. For me qtile keeps winning when i compare the two. The only advantage of i3 is there are more example configurations to steal from, assuming you can even get someone elses configuration working :)
