Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Dt there is a point you missed regarding i3's tabbed layout. If the tabbed layout is the layout of the root window in a workspace then yes, it is basically a monocle layout.
But I very often use the tabbed layout in a child window, I split the root window vertically and tab my right child window, this allows me to have multiple alternate but large terminals on the right so that they don't tile but overlap. I think this is the use case most people refer to when they say they will miss i3's tabbed layout.
