I can echo this! This is exactly how I feel too - the muscle memory around workspace management and the scratch windows (floating windows that you can toggle in/out of visibility based on a single keystroke) are the real boosters for me rather than splits. Splits are useful but the most common use I've seen myself do is to have a browser and a terminal / editor in splits.

Us the toggle an i3 concept? I’m interested in it, can you give me the function name so I can look up doco? :)

Not GP but I think it's `scratchpad toggle` - scratchpad is the keyword to lookup anyway.
Thanks, interesting concept that has some valid applications :)
