Two questions:
1) Is there any reason not to use btrfs at all times?
2) How do you keep package counts low? I feel like I can install any distro, and by the time I get i3 set up, and audio working, etc. I'm already at like 800-1000 packages.

package count doesn't really matter at the end of the day. Ram usage does.
The lower the ram usage the more minimal your system actually is.
If I remember correctly not all distros read packages the same way. So sometimes packages will be bundled and give the appearance of less installed, depending on the distro you use.

1) It's relatively slow, both in terms of CPU and disk time. It doesn't have a lot to offer vs. ext4/xfs + LVM for single disk deployments unless you're a butterfuss power user, and it's a lot more unreliable.
2) Fuck package count.

Are you doing 3gigs without anything running? That's bad. You should be at 110mib with xorg and your wm running.
