Not having to download i3-gaps or feh in exchange for copy/paste and hdpi scaling not working seems like a questionable tradeoff. I'm not sure what 'better multi-window' support means? I've never had issues with i3 windows. Speed has also been non-noticeable.

So it seems like the feature list is 'better gesture support' in exchange for a lot of downsides?

I am not trying to be dismissive, but I see so many people evangelizing it over i3, I feel like I have to be missing something. I can't believe there's a single person who finds those tradeoffs acceptable outside of those who want it to be good eventually and are working towards that.

Again, this is what I've heard; never used it myself (mostly because of the issues you mentioned; I'm unwilling to give up copy-paste and hidpi). With that said, X11 is quite arcane. I3 is still good, or at least for me. Not going to try to proselytize here. I mostly switched because I had to use a completely ancient computer for a while, and I needed to use a tiling wm to get decent responsiveness.
