I've experimented with several different window managers over the past year or so and find that none really compare with i3-wm or i3-gaps.
Another Goodie to add to the list is j4-dmenu-desktop or j4-dmenu-desktop-git
it's a much faster replacement for i3-dmenu-desktop and its purpose is to find .desktop files and offer you a menu to start an application using dmenu.
To use it you can clone it from here:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/j4-dmenu-desktop-git.git
cd j4-dmenu-desktop-git
makepkg -si
and simply comment out (#): i3-dmenu-desktop
in the config file and add the j4-dmenu-desktop-git
command.

Now that I'm totally out of Ubuntu and totally in for Manjaro i3, I've found that dmenu_recency is pretty good and covers all my needs.
I'm not a super fan of .desktop files as all I really need are executables on my $PATH :)
I'll have to give that one a try.
I believe it's called
dmenu-frecency-gitin Arch Linux.The Github page info on it stated:
