I like i3 in principle, but the lack of vertical dock support is a dealbreaker for me. Things like swaybar taking up vertical space across the entirety of my wide desktop is just a shame.

There’s a GitHub issue for this vertical bars. It sounds complicated.

You can always use an alternative dock. I prefer using i3-gaps with Polybar simply for aesthetic and customization reasons.

Not supporting vertical dock clients is indeed a limitation in i3, using another dock client doesn't help here.
