I've used Gnome a lot in my past. Also KDE since the early betas. At some point I just found out how tiling wms are kind of nice. After that it's no going back. It's like learning vim and then trying to go back to an editor with no modal editing.

Like. I need my editor, a browser, a few chat apps, music and lots of terminals. And I've used this config since i3 already for maybe over a decade. Every damn keyboard shortcut has been there for a long time. It's kind of hard to learn out of that...
