>It's the sort of thing that seems attractive to junior developers, but more seasoned folks know that the legacy system contains years of embedded knowledge and workarounds for "real world" issues. The Wayland developers are the same people who have been building all these workarounds for xorg for decades. This isn't a new thing coming out of nowhere. When the old guard is telling you that their own work needs to be replaced, I'd listen. >Perhaps we did need a new display server, perhaps Wayland is conceptually better than Xorg, but it'll be many years before it reaches feature parity, if it ever does. Good thing nobody forces you to use it and it's just one click away on the login screen from switching to xorg. In the meantime people who want to hack on the project can do so and ship their changes to users to test them plus those who do suffer from xorg issues( because yes, xorg doesn't do well on a lot of things that aren't even that modern despite all the workarounds for the "real world" issues it has) can use wayland right away.
