i've been meaning to give wayland another go since my last attempt maybe ~1.5 years ago. there was some promise, but it was still lacking for me:
* i use Kupfer as a quicksilver/alfred replacement. triggering the hotkey made it open the dialog on the bottom left of the window i'd most recently used (rather than centre-screen)
* alt-tabbing in and out of fullscreen-games was much less reliable (if at all possible) - which was weird as i'd have said there was a perceptable increase in latency
* getting wine/proton games to launch was more challenging
* i've modified lots of things on this system to have mac-like keybindings (e.g. "command"-c/v for copy paste in terminal, etc. and not all of these are configuration changes, as in many terminal emulators). i seem to remember wayland behaving strangely with super-based keybinds. i don't think i ever got "command"-w to work properly.
* a myriad of behavioral differences in window/desktop management made it surprisingly painful to persist for any length of time.
which is a shame because it really does feel that wayland is architected better than X11.
