Happy niri user checking in. Hard to imagine going back to a non-scrolling wm. Niri also has a decent config and builtins like screenshotting too.

Indeed, although I find hyprshot + satty a pretty good combo. It's almost as good as Flameshot.
I think it's really important to be able to take a region, specific window or full display screenshot with an ability to annotate afterwards and then also have an option to save to disk or copy to clipboard depending on what you want to do for that screenshot.
Flameshot was ideal because it lets you adjust the region size while also having the annotation controls at the same time. All of these other solutions don't let you adjust the region during annotation time since you're piping the image data into a different annotation tool.

Yep. It keeps getting better. I was recently in the market for a new laptop, and Niri is partly why I didn’t buy a MacBook. It’s hard for me to imagine going back to osx.

I recently switched to niri from sway. I do like it ... There's something nice and spatial about it that makes keeping track of what's where really easy.
