After watching the video, being able to rotate my windows N degrees as the main showoff feature does not seem like a big selling point to me. Maybe I'm old school, but sideways and upside down windows seems like a bit of a waste of time to lose the stability, drivers and network transparency of a working window system.

I think Mike Paquette's classic post is relevant here (since Wayland is inspired by Quartz Compositor): http://developers.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=75257&cid=6734612 http://developers.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=75257&cid... "There doesn't appear to be much code left from the original X server in the drawing path or windowing machinery, and it doesn't appear that apps relying on these extensions can work with any other X server. Just what did we gain from this?"
