I use i3.  I used "awesome" window manager for a while, way too long,
and it was not good.  I feel like I wasted a lot of time with awesome.
Then switched to i3 and it was a huge wave of sanity.  I should have
switched from awesome to i3 long before.  Bad judgement on my part
that I did not.

Tiling window managers are not for everyone.  But on my small laptop
screen I really want to use the full screen and make the display as
large as possible.  My eyes are not as young as they used to be when I
was a twenty-something.
