              It's faster to compile (to the point that it took less than a minute to compile on a vanilla Raspberry Pi 3B+).
It's smaller (the source code tarball is only 26 kB in size).
It's lighter (according to neofetch, if was only using 100 MB of RAM with only st open).
It looks a little different.
It just has a different "feel" to i3 and Sway.
Using it will earn you social clout in certain parts of the internet.

I love that it exists, and allows you to manage your windows with such a low footprint.
But after reading up on it, actually using it and deviating from the defaults in any way sounds tedious for no real benefit.

I'm in a similar boat, seems way too annoying to keep it up, and there's no real reason other than elitism to have it not have config files, at least for the basic stuff.

I like the idea of keyboard navigation in a tiling window manager. It's probably more efficient than with a mouse but I don't think it would make much difference for me. The most I use my machine for at once is a terminal, web browser and Freetube. If I used Linux for my job it might be more useful.
