Sorry, but I don't find the article convincing. The thing about diatribes is that they are a distorted view of reality. My take on Wayland, after using it for several months, is that it is fine for my circumstances. Would I recommend it to other people? No. It doesn't offer a noticeable benefit while the prevalence of software for X suggests that X is the safest bet. On the other hand, Wayland does not deserve the vitriol that is directed towards it.

Wayland is pretty much a requirement for any new, high end laptop or desktop setup. X's inconsistent support of hi-dpi displays, mix/match dpi displays, janky hotplug, and hdr makes it almost a non starter for any laptop sold >=2021 that cost more than $1500

  > Wayland is pretty much a requirement for any new, high end laptop or desktop setup. StumpWM is definitely my requirement for using a computer, and it doesn't support Wayland. And yet my laptops and desktop (all of which cost well over $1,500) are pretty wonderfully useful. They would be close to useless if I did not have a Lisp-extensible tiling window manager to run on them.
