That might be the common retort but according to this opinion piece there's more going on:

If you accept that opinion piece then it's more that Wayland doesn't need anything but GNOME. KDE and others have been working hard to function well on Wayland and have made decent progress while still offering new features (like fractional scaling) given that they weren't really a consideration when Wayland started.
- Crysstalis 4y agoThat article is pretty rambling and the conclusion does not make a lot of sense. GNOME also does not really support custom panels on X11 either (unless you use an extension). If they do not want to support custom panels then that is their decision, it should not have any influence on what other desktops decide to do. In my personal opinion, all those panel and decoration protocols are broken and are needlessly recreating many of the same problems as were present in X11.
- troyvit 4y agoThanks for the fact check. The article was labelled as opinion, and itsfoss.com can be a little rambling at its best, so it's good to hear a more informed counter-point.
