Is Hyprland a good choise for the long run?

[logrusx]

I recently got fed up by Gnome and its developers and moved to Hyprland.

It's been great so far, I don't suffer the reduced video playback performance that appeared in Gnome 46, it also solved some of my problems wrt keyboard shortcuts limitations, also it has better workspace management. But as I understood Hyprland might not be the most reliable choice. And it's not the most stable DM either.

Some people have expressed concerns about the stability of the community behind it and questioned its future.

So what do you think, is it safe choice for the long run? I'd rather migrate to something else now, while I'm on the page, rather than be forced to do it in an inconvenient moment. I understand Sway is similar, but is it better?

Best Regards,

I used hyprland in the past, pre leaving wlroots, so haven't been keeping up.
As far as a tiling manager it's similar to sway (and many others), but it has lots of bling/decorations, etc.
I typically shut off animations and decorations as I find no benefit from them other than an occasional amusement

Sway is a good solid tiling compositor, follows wlroots very closely, no extraneous animation, etc.
Though (supposedly) one can use swayfx for animations and gee-wiz effects.

It's not hard to go from one compositor to another (well, if you ignore gnome and kde) as they mostly all use wlroots under the hood.
