feel free to list other window managers you’ve used.
I have been happy with bspwm, but considering trying something else. I love its simplicity and immense customizability. I like that it is shell scriptable, but it is not a deal breaker feature for me.
I like how the binary split model makes any custom partition possible.
most of the popular ones. i3 was my first so that probably plays a part. I really like the super bare bones aspect and most of the keyboard shortcuts seemed intuitive.
