A question that's not asked enough: Who, or what groups, get paid or make a living to work on "the successor to X?" And more importantly, where do THEIR incentives lie, especially regarding the question of "playing nice with the old stuff and other devs trying to build things here." My best guess is this is where you'll find ALL the answers to "why wayland sucks." (It may not even be "nefarious," simply "not worth our time," or "why not just use OUR preferred DE instead of the one you're working on?" -- okay, maybe that is nefarious. :)
