I've played a bit with i3.  The problem is that some of those minimalist 
window managers is that they take the unix philosophy to the max.  That 
means that the overall UI is split into many components, and each 
component has one or more config files, and those config files end up 
all over the place.  So, when you want to add some shortcut, you have to 
figure out which file it goes in, and what syntax that particular file 
uses, and so on.  Editing things like this in text files is kinda 
painful IMO, which is why you get opinionated stuff like this.
