Nothing stops the developers of--let's say--XFWM4 to create a Wayland version that is identical to Xorg's.

  Nothing except the fact that it would probably be a complete rewrite.

  Read the FAQ entry I linked to. (Specifically, the "How can I replace Wayland's Window Manager?" heading; the anchor doesn't seem to work properly.) Standalone window managers aren't a thing in the Wayland ecosystem, no more than they are under Windows or macOS. Much of the functionality which would be implemented by an X11 WM is either built into the Wayland compositor, or delegated to clients.

    The only difference I notice between window managers is configuration options: is there a shortcut to send the window to another workspace..? Can you resize when maximized, etc. What features would you personally miss?

      Not the above poster, but I like tiling window managers. I'm using i3, and it's got lots of features I actually like and use.
