Any thoughts on what you love and miss about the switch? I haven't tried out i3 yet (I need to get a little more comfortable with my backups before I swing window managers around - I've been burned before!)
I think I'll definitely buy an ARM Mac (or an iPad) for media and other things, and will still recommend it to friends and family once they're done with the transition, if all goes well. The polish around the Mac ecosystem is still unmatched, if you color within the lines.
