I'm familiar with i3, but I feel as if the other features of i3 (configuration via text file in home directory (don't worry, the EBNF is in the header and the examples are annotated!), minimalist presentation, keyboard-first interaction (I still have a printed hotkey chart...)) are likely to stymie adoption even further than Sets, which are simply obscure.

Those other "features" are just conventions that come with being on a *nix OS. They're aren't unique to i3. But regarding adoption, of course power-tools (for power-users) don't get wide adoption. That's just how things are, since the majority doesn't have the time to put into learning how to use such tools.
This thread is about there being a use for a tab-less browser. That doesn't necessitate wide adoption.
(Not that I'm saying that a tab-less browser is of particular use, since one can just ignore tabs in a tabbed-browser.)
