Or maybe X11 is actually useful to many people... I regularly run expensive commercial software remotely on a beefy server and access the GUI locally via X forwarding. I suspect among professional desktop use of Linux (besides software development) this a fairly common scenario.

You can still have X-forwarding (by running a Xwayland server) while having all the benefits of Wayland for all the other desktop apps you run.

  And at that point he may as well get a Windows box and use Putty...

    And at that point better advise would be to use DOS

  Only for now, only X applications. If they end up migrated to Wayland this will be gone.

Does anybody know what happened to "Wayland Over Wire" which was supposed to solve this?

  It was never more than one guy's idle experiment.

    I think that's how all software starts. Well, replace "one guy" with "someone".
