I was also waiting for Gaya's version to compare it to SimWings and then purchase whichever I liked best, but ended up purchasing the SimWings version. EDDM is my home airport and I live close by. SimWings did a really good job. It may not be able to compete with the best of the best out there, but it is by no means bad at all. It was also recently updated to reflect real world construction. Performance is good for me, especially for an airport this size (I'm running at 1440p on an RTX2060 with 6GB VRAM). As for Gaya's EDDM - and this is pure speculation on my part - I suspect it may become part of FS2024. Maybe one of the handcrafted airports as part of a Premium Deluxe version if MS decides to go that route with FS2024. The official word from Gaya as per their Facebook is "We cannot talk about EDDM for business reasons. It's coming, but not under the Gaya brand". If MS/Asobo bought it, it would make sense that they are not able to talk about it. Gaya has done a lot of work directly for MS/Asobo with POIs and airports. I believe they did LSZH for the Switzerland update. I also seem to remember a thread here with people complaining about the quality of LSZH not being up to Gaya's usual standards. So if they sold EDDM to MS/Asobo, it's unclear what level of detail we can expect and if it'll be better than SimWings.

A long time ago they replied to a comment on their Facebook page that they cannot talk about EDDM "for business reasons". To me that indicated that they somehow sold the project or the developer(s) left Gaya and are working on their own now. Since they've been working directly for Microsoft/Asobo on some of the World Update stuff, I figured maybe it's gonna come as some kind of City or World Update. About a 8 months ago they replied again to a question about EDDM: "Munich will see light. But not under the Gaya brand". I think that's the latest.

I believe Bravo Airspace is still working on KLGA: https://bravoairspace.net/klga
