The developer is just kind of insane. They reimplemented wlroots from scratch all on their own, a feat that cannot be understated, and the reason they did that is because of how massively they were outpacing wlroots development in terms of features.
just some things:
a full proper animation stack for eyecandy
single window capture (sway still doesn’t have this)
keypress forwarding to specific windows (like xdotool)
color management and HDR (sway is just now getting this)
proper permission management for screencopy (coming in the newest version, first compositor to implement)
a full plugin system for extra things you want to do
a proper app not responding dialog
If the feature exists, hyprland has it, almost guaranteed, they are not minimalists, which I appreciate right now while wayland is still getting everything sorted out. It’s also the only compositor i’ve used that mostly works with a certain dumb app i uses clipboard.
Interesting. May need to check it out, but I pmuch only use Gnome or KDE. I hate having to configure the extra parts in a WM (widgets for bluetooth, wifi, etc…).
Cosmic supposedly does tiling pretty well. Haven’t tried it yet, but it might be the one new thing I’ll try since going all in on i3 / sway a long time ago…
I wonder if I will stay on sway after cosmic releases
I desperately want a smithay based hyprland clone… hyprland is just so unbelievably good, shame about the dev.
What makes hyprland so good? It just seems like another WM to me, but maybe I don’t get the interesting parts of it.

And just check out the rate of changes:

vaxry is crazy.
I’m using Hyprland for a long time now and somehow I completely missed the global hotkey support. Thanks!

Not sure I could stop using a tiling window manager now
