I can absolutely echo your sentiment. I recently released some software which has Wayland support. Immediately, I got some bug reports from Hyprland users so I setup a partition with EndeavourOS + Hyprland to work out the issues. I was pleasantly surprised to find that, as you said, the defaults are nice. Configuring it was a breeze as well. Now about 2 weeks later I am daily driving the system I setup for testing and am working to switch fully to it from macOS.

What was the hyprland-specific issue?
They were definitely my fault, to be clear. There was a crash at launch (I don't remember the cause exactly) and being unable to copy to clipboard when using the wlr-layer-shell extension. Those likely affected other compositors, but I did not catch them on Gnome when I was doing the majority of development and testing.
