No, the biggest feature of DWM is dynamic window tiling (pretty sure DWM stands for Dynamic Window Manager). Sway/i3 can be made to kinda dynamically tile with scripts, but it's much less consistent, less powerful, and hardly works. They are manual tilers and they don't try to be dynamic tilers.

Personally I prefer being able to quickly toggle a dynamic window layout based on my current workflow, and switch back to manual tiling when I specifically need to manually tile.

Currently I use Sway too as it's the most mature tiling compositor on Wayland, but once River WM[0], also based on wlroots, matures more I think I will likely make the switch because I often miss dynamic tiling.

On a side note, I hate how window moving works in Sway/i3. I can hardly ever get windows to move to where I want them to go with keyboard. As a result, I have a bind that enters a 'move' mode that takes the current selected window and moves it to a window that I can select. That, or I just use the mouse to drag the window, which is kinda annoying considering this is a keeb focussed environment.

fwiw; for i3/sway I use this autotiling script: https://github.com/nwg-piotr/autotiling

Yea, I've used that before but just switching between vertical and horizontal tiling doesn't get you anywhere close to dynamic tiling and on demand layouts.
