But then I fail to see what benefit it's giving me to be a tiling window manager?

That's simply an option, because the devs recognize that not everything adheres well to a tiling workflow. It's not intended to be the primary mode of operation. I personally almost never use floating mode.
Better default window behavior. I do not need to use a mouse with i3.
That's another point of difference, then. I love the mouse! And the default window behavior is appealing to me.
