Seems like a big part of my local Strava bubble migrated from Zwift to MyWhoosh this winter.
I think it's a good thing that there's pressure on Zwift. I think they're just plain lazy on a lot of fronts: when it comes to introducing new courses and features, the logics and and complexity of the workouts, the graphics. Maybe it will force them to up their game.

They've torched so much money from investors and the CEO sounds like such a tool, i wouldn't hold my breath.
I'm level 32 on mywhoosh now (i transferred my points from zwift). The grahpics are way better, the workouts make a lot more sense and there's clearly been some input from real coaches.
I run it on a mini pc with a really fast SSD, 16gb ram, and an AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS. All the settings are maxed out.
I dont love it though. The gamification isn't as good as zwift, so you're much less tempted to cycle the extra 5 - 10 - 15min because of X Y Z. There are more worlds and routes, but it's a bit bogus, in reality, you're criss crossing a lot. The avatar is a bit clunky, when you're out of the saddle, for eg. The interaction of the avatar w other avatar (overlap, moving aside) is quite bad. The aerodynamics are totally useless because i bought the TT bike and the disc, and i'm not going any faster. This is disappointing, i enjoyed geeking out on zwift finding the best gear for a course.
But in the bigger scheme of things, I like it.
I ve also used training peaks virtual a couple of times, it's not bad, but i think mywhoosh has much more potential. mywhoosh is trying various things, for a few weeks they had a complex coin / credits system, and this is largely gone, afaik. Given where Zwift is and when they started, vs where mywhoosh is vs when they started, it doesnt reflect well on zwift.
It seems to me that zwift is focusing on getting more people on the game, with marketing, rather than improving the game in any meaningful way. That and being woke AF. Meanwhile mywhoosh is improving, and in graphics and structured training sessions alone, is streets ahead.
Fast on the flat. And nowhere else.

Loved going to Six Day Races back in the day-virtual cycling that would gamify that up to and including old school, super loud two stroke keirin pacing and bands playing in the oval would be awesome.
