I am suggesting that wayland may not reach critical mass because of backporting these features, and wayland lacking a lot of functionality would prevent me from using it, until its reach partiality or enough functionality. I had mostly a great time with it on GNOME and a tablet interface, but I missed widgets and some functionalities.

In terms of developer velocity I think it has already reached critical mass. I can't comment on any particular missing features in GNOME, to me it is probably more likely that a GNOME contributor is working on getting those features ported over to Wayland than somebody working on backporting things to X.

  That's great, I'll switch when its not a skeletonized version of the functionality I use now, I hope there is an easy way to import global hotkeys in my current programs, and have widgets or GUI support. I tried using ctrl and up as a hotkey in the compositor for instance and it never worked in dbus when I tried last week. I just mentioned GNOME because I actually really dislike it, and was forced to use it for good tablet support with wayland, they broke those plugins I used.
