People get defensive for Wayland due to the tone of the article. Sentences like "Let Wayland not destroy everything and then have other people fix the damage it caused" sound extremely hostile, making people who disagree immediately defensive.
- steerablesafe 6y agoPeople get defensive for Wayland whenever it comes up. While I don't agree with the tone of the article, the author brings up valid points (mostly in the comments though). Also I believe the problem is not Wayland. It's the lack of other standard protocols on top of it that are required for application developers to not chase ad-hoc, desktop environment dependent protocols for basic needs like screen sharing. The issues are probably political rather than technical, and the solution is coordination between the desktop environment implementers to use the same standards and provide common interfaces for application developers.
