It's great, simple and gets things done pretty straightforward. Used for almost two years with Fedora, ArcoLinux, and Arch Linux. Definitely a good choice.
AFAIK the only usable, good enough, with active development dynamic WM for wayland. nvidia users are doomed btw.
Best and only tiling window manager for Wayland
