So wayland is just a waste of time or what? Why are the Wayland maintainers doing it then? To hurt users? I don't get it, sorry.

  Obviously not, but it is not the solution to all problems, that people make it out to be, and still needs a lot of work.

    And really, X11 isn't that bad. Or at least xenocara on OpenBSD, which is what I'm most familiar with and which has addressed some of the more glaring problems.

  Well, Wayland has been around for a decade now and is still rarely the default for any given distribution. I think that says a lot about Wayland.

    Apart from this being increasingly false (wayland being the default display server for gnome since more than 2 years now), adoption rate is much more correlated to the importance of the component than with the quality of the tool, just look at the history of ipv6. The more a component is part of a low-level core, the longer it will take to replace it with anything. Inertia.
