Two reasons, one is that i don't like Wayland - partially because its simpler architecture comes from pushing the complexity to the clients, but also because i see its design as very short sighted (e.g. the wl_shell API provides a function to create a popup and grab the mouse cursor at the same time and that is the only way to create popups in the core API because the designers only thought about menus, comboboxes and the like and only defined functionality for that - in contrast X just gives you generic functionality). The other reason is that i am writing an X toolkit and so i already have a lot of X code i can use (as i wrote, "custom apps"). For the uses i have in mind Wayland could probably also work, but i'd need to write a lot of extra code that i'd rather avoid writing. PostmarketOS does indeed look like what i have in mind, but as i said, i'd rather have pure Xorg without Wayland (it should be doable since, AFAIK, both should use the same graphics stack). It is something i'll try looking into at some point.
