Sorry, but you said you don't use gnome, not that you don't use a DE.
Yes, you said you use the i3 WM, but AIUI some lightweight DEs allow
you to choose WMs like i3 (if you don't like stacking WMs).
I've also ignored whether you run a DM: they too can affect which
startup files get executed and can make the distinction between
.bash_profile and .bashrc moot.

Perhaps you should try using vim in server mode with the remote option.
