Hyprland has several practical features that Sway does not have. I have used both extensively and I stayed at Hyprland because of the following:
DynamicBSP layout
Moving windows without changing layout structure is easy
Special workspaces(scratch pads)
They can be toggled
One can launch apps when opened empty
They can automatically close when the last window closes.
Things Sway has that Hyprland does not:
Closing all windows contained in workspace
Moving all windows from one workspace to another
I have thought coming back to Sway because of the performance and because of Hyprland’s the silly default wallpapers and splash screens, but those features hold me back.
I looked at the documentation and I’m not sure how to do it, do you have a example to target windows in the current workspace? I would really appreciate that.
I saw some cool features I’m kinda missing in river (especially the wide range of compatible tools and stability, performance) and I really want to like it.
I’d actually bother setting it up if it had dynamic (master slave) layouts. But I can’t for the love of god find out if it exists or if it’s just a manual tiler. Does it?
Sway…
I guess it’s boring but it’s never broken on me in the 5ish years I’ve been using it since switching from i3.
I read all this hype about hyprland but sway does what I want and need as a tiling window manager, and simply see no need to even try hyprland.

With lua you can get the lacking features too.

I’m away from home so can’t use my pc. Lua is a scripting language so you’re not restricted to the wiki or documentation.
