Niri is in the exact same style of smoothly animated tiled columns sliding around, and it's much more pleasant as a community/project. And if you care, it's in Rust not C++.

There's not a lot of competition yet.

Sway is good, but lots of fantastic WMs with great UIs are still stuck in X. Needing a massive re-write doesn't help.

My personal favorites (XMonad, StumpWM, and EXWM) have all tried but failed to get ported to Wayland.

Tiling window managers on Wayland still are pretty early sadly.

I've been using Niri for a solid year, it's been great.

Yeah I'm in the element chat of that. They are still pretty early.
