Niri Completely Changes Multitasking
The big thing that sets Niri apart is that it’s a scrollable tiling window manager. If you’ve used a normal tiling window manager, Niri behaves more or less like you’d expect until you run out of room on your current workspace. Past that point, new windows will overflow to the right. You can scroll your focus left or right, taking advantage of unlimited space per workspace. There’s lots of great links on Niri’s GitHub linked above if you’re still curious about how it works.

Diff-ers
An actual diff replacement (you can’t just pipe to it). Use this if you want to see diffs that aren’t dumb about brace placement when you add a {…} to a long list of things in braces. I currently use this as my one default Git difftool (but I don’t use the default difftool by default; I prefer using the built-in Git diff unless I have Opinions™ for this particular diffing).
