What is i3w? I couldn't find i3w in pkgsrc/wm or (FreBSD) ports/x11-wm. Do you mean i3?
I tried i3, didn't get past the devious, confusing documentation, might have if I had stuck with it more. Special keys, such as Alt, were deviously named in the documentation.
I want to try ratpoison and jwm. Now I am in icewm 1.3.8, which I use in both NetBSD and FreeBSD.
I never got far with GNOME or with KDE 4.x.
I tried awesome some years ago, but the "awesome" decoration/artwork just got in the way and confused me.
