At the end of the article there’s a list of complaints about X, and coincidentally it’s a list of things X users probably won’t care about. your desktop tears screen capture is dog slow your media keys stop working one day your speakers sound terrible and tinny or don't even work at all by default (once we ship that) VSync is broken your display looks duller and the colors muted It’s kind of funny though how apparently Wayland is another hydra that tries to get involved with sound and other things it doesn’t really have business with.

On my HP laptop > your desktop tears Maybe but I don't care, I care about a desktop that works. I went back to X on my laptop after testing Wayland because something important didn't work but I can't remember what. > screen capture is dog slow I never realized it. > your media keys stop working one day Brightness controls work with some NVIDIA drivers and don't with others but there are workarounds: hotkeys bound to brightness control scripts. I think that the next three points are specific to the work they are doing on Macs so they don't apply to my experience. > your speakers sound terrible and tinny or don't even work at all by default (once we ship that) > VSync is broken > your display looks duller and the colors muted
