2) Not so much a technical reason, but more a philosophical one: One of
i3’s
goals is to provide an efficient user interface for power users. While
using
the mouse pointer is faster for user interfaces / programs with which you
are not familiar (I can lookup the study if you want to), it is certainly
not faster as soon as keyboard shortcuts end up in your muscle memory.
I would be interested to see this study, not because I disagree but rather
because I'd like to learn more about the experimental conditions.
And Michael, thanks for i3. Though I didn't know until I used it, tree based
management is what I've been wishing my interfaces to work like whether I
was using a traditional or tiling wm. Bernhard, I suggest you try exploring
the i3 way some more and then decide if its right for you. At this point you
can basically see every libre wm as materially opinionated, and it doesn't
make sense to stick to one that doesn't agree with your idea of a workflow.
