I did run Awesome for awhile and I liked it, but I never used the Lua config for the most trivial things so it never got in the way of anything.

I never found that Sway too annoying to just use the shell commands to grab/modify the current state of Sway (https://github.com/tombert/rs-swanbar) and just use a "real" programming language to actually do any kind of programming logic. To each their own!
