I really miss #wmii 's ability to send windows to several workspaces in #i3wm sometimes.

i barely used #wmii's #9p interface, back in the day. but i think i need to go back & live in that world for a little bit. re-experience it, & learn the interface, see how it worked. ideally do a couple #streams walking through it a little. to inform my web-shell interests. cross the recent #TabFS greatness.

i 'd love to find a good discussion on what i3 (window manager improved improved improved) changed, in their core architecture, as they forked/rebuild wmii. why i3? what happened there? did the desire for a new custom text protocol drive that change? or was that incidental? what about the core ui was different to users?
