I3wm, any progress?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

What specifically didn't you like about I3?

I'm genuinely curius, since Ratpoison seems carried less in terms of 
distros than I3. If I could get a VM up and going (thank you qemu) I'd 
give i3 a go to compare it.


Don't get me wrong. Ratpoison is great. However, on this machine, it's 
either build it from source, since it's not in the repos and the 
distro[s attitude is well, we ship I3 why should we ship Ratpoison....or 
a draining and complex desktop
