       @nixCraft I was turned off i3 when someone tried to show me how much more efficient it is by moving a window with their keyboard, thirty seconds later they had managed to move it. They had been using i3 for at least a year at that point.

       @brektyme @nixCraft Sadly it's a shame that people think i3 is an example of every tiling window manager when it truth you should look at a dynamic tiling window manager unlike i3 which is a manual tiling window manager.

       @10leej @brektyme @nixCraft Can you suggest some friendlier alternatives to take a look at?  I'd love to find some sweet spot between "being able to put stuff where I want it and have it stay that way, including multiple desktops and restoring sessions" and "having to learn a specialized configuration language in depth and/or memorize a bunch of keyboard combo moves"...

       @swetland @brektyme @nixCraft So, the awesome window manager is actually pretty good, but uses Lua for configurations. You could look at bspwm. I personally prefer dwm
