Proton really does take Wine to the next level. Even a behemoth like Witcher 3 runs smooth as butter (better than on Windows according to some).

I wonder if the increasing popularity of Proton will mean more developers will simply stop targetting or porting to Linux. Games like Tomb Raider and Hitman got proper Linux releases that run great. Will we see a drop in quality with Proton? Or will Proton simply mean that targetting Linux becomes cheaper? That is, there is still a need to perform proper QA of course, but only a minimal amount of coding (mostly fixing bugs found during QA).
