You want to win me over? For starters, provide a layer that supports all hooks and features in xdotool and wmctrl. As I understand it, that’s nowhere near present, and maybe even deliberately impossible “for security reasons”.
I know about ydotool and dotool. They’re something but definitely not drop-in replacements.
Unfortunately, I suspect I’ll end up being forced onto Wayland at some point because the easy-use distros will switch to it, and I’ll just have to get used to moving and resizing my windows manually with the mouse. Over and over. Because that’s secure.

I think the Wayland transition will not be without compromises
May I ask why you don’t use tiling window managers if you don’t like to move windows with the mouse?
I think it’s possible to make such a tool for Wayland, but in Wayland stuff like that are completely on the compositor
So, ask the compositor developers to expose the required shit and you can make such a tool
