Anyone using it daily? I'd love to hear about what makes the cool animations.. well, cool. My desktop is pretty boring right now.

I've used Wayfire everyday for a few years now. Although I'm into customisation and tinkering, (so things like Arch, Neovim, and indeed Wayfire, are to my taste), I don't like tiling window managers. I find it's like turning my living room into a workshop. A living space should have sunlight, plants and a sofa to welcome friends. In my opinion wobbly windows and other silly animations are nearer to that kind of organic aesthetic.

Wayfire is a living space I can tinker with.

I rather have a boring and stable desktop than these trend of the week WM:s. Time will tell if they even stick around, and become a reasonable daily driver.

In wayland-land the only one I managed to use for a couple of days without crashing was sway in 2022. Both their last release and sway-git is crashy

As an average user, wayfire has been pretty reliable since 0.7.5. It is just its ecosystem needs more work.
