I think I prefer having to tile my windows with Super+Arrow keys to be honest. I doubt Hyprland will know what I run in the different terminal windows and therefore can’t automagically tile them in the quarters I want them.
But I haven’t tried it, been too satisfied with KDE Plasma to look further at Wayland desktops.
Personally, I found it worth playing around with. I cared less than I thought where I had to move my eyeballs to, once I didn’t have to make the decision anymore.
And automatic tiling can also enable workflows that just don’t make sense with manual tiling, for example master-stack-layout where basically one window takes up half the screen and the other windows share the other half, and then you swap out which one’s the big window as you see fit.
But I also wouldn’t have written all that, if I didn’t have a way that you can easily try it out: You can add automatic tiling into KDE Plasma via Kwinscripts. Personally, I’m using Krohnkite: https://store.kde.org/p/2144146
(Easiest to install by going through the System Settings…)
It takes a lot of configuration to customize things how you’d want them, the documentation isn’t great and the primary community is tedious to deal with in the alt-right/edglord sense.
If you wanted to try it I’d recommend using some pre-made configs and customizing from there. Vanilla hyprland just gives you a blank desktop with instructions pointing you to the config file.
I don’t use it due to the community, but I’ve been impressed by some ricing community setups. If you enjoy UX, it has a lot of flexibility. But for a daily driver it’s a lot of work in ways KDE Plasma just isn’t.

It’s only okay.
