    I have compton just for transparent terminals. Probably not a wise use of resources but w/e. I love the ease in adding key bindings through the i3config and not needing to learn an additional programming language to modify it slightly. I have a friend who runs awesomewm and he's like "oh yeah just write lua scripts to move the time over here". I dont have the time for that, basic i3status is plenty fine for me.

      I don't like transparency much but I noticed a little tearing and lagging on Firefox if I have vlc running on bare openbox and i3. Goes away when I have Compton so I use Compton.

      Also yeah, i3 probably has the easiest config of them all. Openbox is easy too but XML is a bit of an eyesore. I like both of them, and openbox is even lighter but I really need my tiling.
