Gateway API is a broad community standard governed by SIG Network - fingers crossed for various other implementations (including mesh) working their way to GA implementation-wise - this will make the standard stronger and the community more vibrant.
My team at Kong would agree - as maintainers of a very feature-rich implementation of Ingress we've felt the pain of pushing Ingress to the limits of its expressive power (hence our current strong focus on Gateway API).
The Ingress API is fine as long as you're in the "basic proxying with simple path-based routing" territory, but once you want to do something more serious (route by query string, configure weighted load balancing, work with TLS, deal with methods, etc - let alone other protocols than HTTP) you're kinda stuck with vendor-specific extensions that mostly rely on annotations.
Kong has an implementation of Gateway API for HTTP(S), TCP, UDP, TLS, gRPC that aims to offer a fairly smooth transition from Ingress to Gateway API by supporting both in our Kong Ingress Controller and working on conversion tooling (we're the only provider other than nginx currently available in the ingress2gateway tool). We strongly believe that (at least Kong's implementation of) Gateway API will be much easier to use than Ingress.
You can try out Kong's (certified conformant with Gateway API "core" profile) beta implementation by following [1] for HTTP. There's a guide for gRPC as well, among others [2]. As Kong's implementation of Gateway API [3] is nearing general availability, we're very open to community feedback.
I am specifically talking just about OSS functionality in the Kong Ingress Controller. It can assign weights to service backends.
And, FWIW, Insomnia 8.3 defaults to local projects (again)
