Not the original commenter here but

- i3 treats individual monitors as virtual desktops instead of having them stretch across all monitors which makes it easy to shift say a workspace with a browser or a chat app into a secondary monitor without losing the current task or having to rearrange everything.

- i3 lets you define keybinding modes that work much like modes in vim

- i3 is very simple and comprehensible its about as non magical as can be making it using it predictable and simple
