I moved on to Niri a couple of months ago for various reasons, constantly having to fix and re-check my config against the docs being one of them.
For me Niri performs better, I really like the workflow and the dev behind it is very deliberate with new features and changes. Feels like he has a clear vision on how it’s supposed to work and it shows imo.
Just recently switched to Niri myself - I think the fact that Niri inherits a lot from Smithay for compositior stuff really helps. It’s the same compositor base that cosmic DE uses. Sure hyprland has HDR at present and Niri doesn’t, but I think it helps a lot to not build a compositor and a TWM at the same time. vaxry is honestly just doing way too much and it’s unsustainable and new version blow ups like this were inevitable given how big the install base has become and how huge hyprland feature set has gotten
