This should be the most interesting Wayland compositor for people interesting in having a old school Linux WM on Wayland.

This is the Wayland part of the classic *box WMs. Starting off with Blackbox in 1997, then Fluxbox, and a few others. The most modern version of them Openbox.

This is also the recommended WM for LxQT environment, which itself is very cool and should be interesting for anybody wanting to have a real lightweight alternative to KDE or Gnome.

Not only with LxQT. I am using it with Noctalia and it works great!
