I’m having a lot of fun using Sway as my first window manager, but there’s so much to configure. Is this how all window managers are? Maybe I’m overthinking it, but getting everything to look and feel right seems like a lot of trial and error. I don’t mind putting in the work that’s part of the appeal, but I’d really appreciate any tips on tools, apps, or workflows you all use to make the setup process easier.

No. They vary in both the amount of things you can configure, and how you can configure them.

For some you modify header files in a C program that you have to recompile, others have built-in GUI configuration tools that cover everything.

I use stock sway on OpenSUSE and didn't feel the need to configure anything beyond the color scheme. The default setup is pretty nice.

Just use the defaults and forget about it.
