I did not hate Mir, but given that Canonical was attempting to develop so many projects at the same time: - a conventional PC desktop; - a mobile device desktop; - a packaging format; - a mobile OS for smartphones and tablets. It seemed foolish to me to work on a new display server as well. And yet, oddly, while both the desktops, and the mobile OS, are now abandoned by their creator company, the display server is alive and well, and is now being turned into a Wayland compositor. And of course the package format, too.
