  1. The thing to remember here is that COSMIC is meant to be a lot more newbie-friendly and batteries-included than KDE (and certainly Hyprland/Sway). As such, I'm fine with them being opinionated even if I don't always agree with those opinions. That said: I hope that the smithay compositor supports everything you're noting and that eventually we get a "COSMIC Tweaks" application that lets advanced users customize these behaviors.

  2. Your criticisms were valid. You weren't pointing to open issues on their TODO—your focus was on wontfixes. The only thing I thought was premature was workspaces—it's clear that's something they're iterating on (case in my point: on my multimonitor tiling setup, moving a window to another workspace just got 2x harder in the latest alpha) and where I think we should let them cook for a bit longer.
