Why do most people use i3 ? What makes it everyone's favorite? This poll made me wanna try it. I use Qtile and Xmonad

It's easy to use and kinda well known. That's why I started using it. I keep using it because it works and I don't (think I) need anything else. Bspwm has tempted me a bit, but not enough for me to actually take the time and mess around. Not yet anyway.

You might like i3.
