I've used it for a while. It's awesome for basic stuff (checking emails, browsing, etc.), but for professional usage, it gets in the way. You can do the exact same thing with sway/i3 using tabbed windows but with much more control ans customizability, and it's a lot more efficient.
what do you mean by efficient. I am using niri right now, and i do not record increased power/cpu/gpu usage as compared to sway.
