No. I'm from not-even-a-tiling-window-manager land. Years ago I tried i3 and sway but couldn't get used to them, they drove me nuts and I went back to XFCE. Years before that I used KDE. I encounter gnome all the time too on other people's computers.
But tiling window managers I could never get used to.
Somehow, and I can't explain it yet, niri immediately felt normal and good compared to when I tried tiling window managers before.
Maybe hyprland is better even. I never tried it.

When I tried i3 I also ended up abandoning it, but been using hyprland for a while now and really enjoy it. I heard niri is very similar but with a lot less config needed which for what I value, it means you might have started with the best option 🙂
