Hello all, looking for a good autotiling window manager that is wayland based but is NOT hyprland. Sway seems to be an option but I don't really want to install a plugin to make it autotile... Anyway, does anybody else have any other suggestions?

It is "ready". The 0.3 branch and the 0.4 branch can be thought of as different compositors, and the 0.3 branch is a fully-functional compositor in its own right. Some people will never upgrade to 0.4 because they either prefer 0.3 or can't be bothered to make the transition.

Also the way you quoted that made it sound like the 0.4 release has been a WIP for years. Believe it or not 0.3 was not the first River release... They haven't been planning the RWM release the whole time.
