From my narrow perspective, Wayland's key feature/bug is that it may break fluxbox, which I have used for >17 yr.
As long as it implements X, I don't mind, but my understanding is that the change is a breaking one.
- htns 7y agoMine are 1) Xmodmap support/migration 2) breaking imagemagick's import (screenshotting) making my shortcut for OCR'ing text on the screen break. It seems Wayland isn't going to be the default in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, but if it wasn't for the risk of Wayland I would be on the non-LTS releases. At least Guix exists now so staying on LTS (released every 2 years) isn't that bothersome in terms of easily avoiding out-of-date software.

- htns 7y agoI don't have the exact command at hand, but it just uses tesseract. Something like "import - | tesseract <whatever options for language and page format> | xclip". The accuracy is not amazing by any means.
