Xmonad – A dynamically tiling X11 window manager

i tried using i3, but the behaviour when it comes to spaces made me mad (create on use instead of create a bunch of them).

right now awesomewm does everything i need and config being in lua helps a ton with readability and flexibility.

High five. I found awesome wm to be significantly superior to i3 OOTB, and with a little setup it really lives up to the name "awesome".

Super+e to open emacs, and then having emacs automatically sent/assigned to the tag/workspace titled "emacs"? Love it.

But my fav is having the "Menu" key bound to "open urxvt". Super convenient.

I had the opposite. I switched from Awesome to i3 about three years ago.

I can do all of that in i3 with a simple text editor.
