How does it compare to hyprland in it's current state regarding stability, features and support?
Overall I would say it is more stable and less features than Hyprland. And recently it has Waybar modules so you can have a complete status bar. Personally would prefer Niri over Hyprland on a laptop if I do not plan on connecting monitors.

Wow, this is pretty good! I might have to finally ditch sway.
