      It’s not dead if people are still developing and using it.

        You are right, it’s more like zombieware. No noteworthy DE wants to support it anymore, yet is has not been dropped completely

          No noteworthy DE

          You mean, Gnome or KDE? KDE hasn’t announced they’re dropping X, AFAIK.

          There are a great many window managers that don’t support Wayland. If herbstluftwm ran on Wayland, I’d try switching again. But it doesn’t, and the project has stated they have no intention of adding support.

            Whats unique about herbstluftwm? I am curious about what it has to offer to you verses other tilers.
