I love tiling WMs. I'll try out new ones every now and then for a few days, but I always come back to i3; which has been my primary window manager since 2012. It's an amazing window manager and I'm glad to see all the work still going into it. Sometime this year, I'll have to give Sway/Wayland another try on my laptop. I'd love to switch to Wayland, but the past few releases of Sway there was always something I got stuck on I couldn't patch or work around.

My experience with Sway was the same until the 1.0 release (about 11 months ago). The 1.0 release fixed all the show stoppers and I've been happily using it ever since. It also comes with a few nice things build in like gaps. To be honest though, there isn't much difference from a day to day perspective between X11 and wayland. A few things are nice (adding and extra screen doesn't reset the video mode) and a few things are worse (recording video). Make the switch when it's the natural choice, don't force it ;-)
