[arch-general] [OT?] Which is most future-proof desktop environment?

I've been very happy with i3wm since I started using it, but I suppose it
probably doesn't qualify as a desktop environment. I like the flexible
keyboard-driven layouting and vim-like keybindings, and dmenu gives random
access to any application without the need for menus or the like. I don't
like the interruption of having to reach for the mouse. Combined with vim,
tmux and Pentadactyl (a vim shell for Firefox), I get a setup where I
rarely need to take my hand off the keyboard. If I were to choose a setup
to stick with forever, this would be it.
