I switch between i3 and GNOME on my desktop. Their workflow is very similar.

Gnome 3 with gedit exclusively.

i3 gaps

It's the absolute best with vim. Use a DE if you need to use an IDE, but then you need to be reevaluating why you need an IDE

i3 gaps and i3 is pretty much the same, right? only gaping and a few functions more, which you actually can add into i3 by yourself if you want.

after using bspwm I can't go back. it just works

Yes, there's tons of patches around to make it do different things. Stock with actual vim keybinds is still fantastic. Everything else is icing on the cake.

Loaded question, with only one option for what your stated desires are in the list of choices.

It should have been i3, awesome, xmonad, fluxbox.

KDE.

If your PC was built in this decade, the differences are negligible.

i3 + xfce.

plasma and gnome are for gaudy aesthetics and grannies.
