I came across a sentence(taken from a dictionary):
‘I had a delightful holiday’.
Here can i use “delighting” instead of “delightful”?
Is the word “delighting” commonly used compared to “delightful”?

You cannot replace ‘delightful’ with ‘delighting’.
‘Delighting’ is usually used with ‘in’:
They were delighting in each others’ company = They were enjoying each others’ company.
But both words are adjectives, so why is more common delightful than delighting?
delightful = enjoyable
delighting = enjoying
Delighting is not an adjective.
