    Default delightful or delighting

    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"?

    Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.
