Can someone address various criticism, possibly slander of Wayland, along the lines of "well it works now, but it is already outdated"?
I can't remember were I read it, but among the claims were that it is too closely coupled to GNOME, and various things like fractional scaling, apps having to provide min/max/close buttons/decorations, or window shading not being in the core protocol because of that. Also - and more seriously - the rendering was claimed to be based an outdated/wrong model meaning GUI applications can't detect and optimize for things like when to render or not, e.g. make decisions based on refresh rates or not being focused, resulting in performance or battery life problems.
The other point about missing native network support I can dismiss myself, but for the others I am not knowledgeable enough.
