I've looked at using Qtile before, but opted to go for I3 as it seemed to be a bit more mature. Would love to hear experiences/thoughts of anyone using this, I would love to switch to it and be able to leverage my existing python knowledge for customizing.


I started with Awesome in 2009 and switched to Qtile about a year later. Python is what I do all day every day, and it's really useful to be able to customize my environment in my favorite language. The other plus of Qtile being in Python is that it's much easier for me to contribute back to the project itself.


Qtile is great. I've been using it for years, after xmonad and awesome previously.


One of the things about i3 that is really compelling is the multi-monitor support.


Qtile has multi monitor support as well. Any thoughts on why i3's is more compelling?
