Take this as a sign that you're out of the loop and your bubble is smaller than you thought. niri is the current hot tiling compositor, and I've switched my laptop over to it recently - away from Plasma - because it's so incredibly slick. It's gathered enough mindshare to have several desktop environments explicitly target it (Dank Material Shell, Noctalia).

In fact there's a whole new cultural wave within open source - tiling Wayland compositors, shockingly featureful DEs based on QuickShell, brand new TUI tools with no CLI or GUI equivalents, and most of it written in Rust.
