This is the first time I made a throwaway account, not because I care about my karma, but because I don't want wayland devs and distro maintainers to trace this back to me or the projects I contribute to. Wayland has been a nightmare to support, and supporting it usually means having a bunch of wlroots-specific, kwin-specific, and gnome-specific code, and just forgetting about weston, the so called reference implementation. Certain distros have switched to wayland as the "default" desktop without upgrading application software to link against wayland, and we are now getting bug reports from distro users that are specific to xwayland. Sway is the most standards-compliant compositor, but I can't expect users to install it when something is broken on gnome 3. A lot of application software was ported to gnome 3 specifically, using gnome-specific protocols, so switching back to Xorg is sometimes easier than switching from gnome to sway.
