Why save up 100MB using lightweight DE when you programs will use anyway few GB of memory

I have to admit, while I usually prefer the looks of a more traditional DE, i3 has been phenomenal to use and that's why it's my number one choice of linux xorg WM/DE. All gui applications work perfectly (in some rare cases if it doesn't work at first, it will when I float the window or toggle fullscreen), multi monitor support is seamless, it's highly configurable and relatively lightweight, it's very good for battery life (compare to Unity or GNOME, ffs), and just apart from the slight hassle of setting up and learning to use, I haven't had any practical issues with it unlike every other Linux desktop/wm. Other de/wm always have shown their bugs and shortcomings but not i3.
