It isn't necessarily easier nor better. I'd been using Fluxbox for a long
time when I decided I wanted to try a tiling window manager. i3 was easier
to configure than other WMs (such as awesome) and I really liked the idea
of always using all of the screen. I always have a lot of terminals open
and now I don't have to worry about arranging them in a way I can see
everything at the same time.

As for ease of use, Fluxbox might even be easier than i3, at least to a
user coming from Windows or OS X.
