Oh come on! First, you hate on COSMIC for taking away some of the noob user base, now you hate on other compositors for taking some of your other user base.

Why can't you be happy that there are other projects in this space? Why can't you just be happy that people are now more likely to find a project which works for them? Is it because your own project is losing users, now that people are no longer trapped to it, because it's no longer the only good project in the space?

Even Brodie admitted that you're not completely right on many of your takes, so why not focus on what you're good at, aka writing a Wayland compositor?

Edit: It seems that I should have read the article. He talks about things from a different point of view, but if you're looking to write a proper Wayland "window manager", there is only one real choice and it's not Hyprland, it's the upcoming River 0.4.0 which will use a custom protocol, based on the layout managers that River was already made for. Basically the dev, Isaac, is moving as much of the window management into the "layout manager" protocol to turn River into a base for writing your own Window manager.

It's one of the main project releases I'm the most excited about in the Linux space.
