You mentioned qtile and i3, which are both great tiling window managers, but IIRC the most "vim-like" one in terms of usage and default bindings is herbsluftwm. It's a manual tiler, and the way you split windows and fill the area with a new one is very similar to splitting panes and filling them with a new buffer in vim. Never actually used it seriously (I use AwesomeWM), but it looks cool.
