Wayfire is a pretty good general purpose desktop. Sadly development has died down a little recently and I have switched platforms. It's still very extensible with many interesting plugins and it just gets some things completely right. Know how Windows, X, many Wayland desktops and even macOS sometimes do weird things when you move windows between differently scaled displays? Wayfire has 0 - absolutely no - artifacts (glitchiness, things jumping around, etc). And that's at any (floating-point) scale. It also has "finger following" touchpad desktop switching gestures, which no other compositor had for a long time. It also has blur behind windows. So it's not really about the flashy window-flames for me that you see on the surface, it also just has a really solid core.
