This one scares me a bit. We want the config and ipc to work in place with upstream, and changing the binary name might result in some broken configs

maybe its better to keep this as a later topic. But i think its a very important QoL feature to allow swayfx to exist concurrently with sway. in what way that is achieved is to be discussed about. Maybe something to keep in mind for 1.0

I like this idea and been thinking about it. Because currently we can't install swayfx and sway at the same time (not nice for troubleshooting as I have to uninstall/install over and over just to try the other app).

How about adding a translation layer to config where sway* → swayfx*?
