This corresponds my point of view exactly. I'm 99% satisfied with X and see no practical reason in switching to Wayland as long as it breaks anything. I feel sympathetic conceptually but don't want to deal with any additional headaches (which can be expected to occur as many common apps still are not perfectly Wayland-ready) in exchange for purely theoretical (for me) improvements which don't offer any practical value to me. I also use X over SSH (even on Windows!) occasionally and don't really like the idea of loosing this feature.

And I think, even if Wayland was feature complete, I'd still only be 99% satisfied with it.. because, I cannot think of anything I am 100% satisfied with! Every piece of software has something you have to work around, every piece of software has small issues, bugs, and there's always some issue. Thus, 99% is pretty much "perfect", because you'll never get 100%. And therefore, for me, X11 is literally perfect. I have zero, absolutely zero motivation to change. Frankly, compared to 20 years ago, X is a dream to use. Autoconfig, incredibly rich support for multiple monitors, compared to decades ago. It's wonderful. I love it. I sort of feel like Wayland is in ipv6 turf. Always gaining support, but always blocked in a lot of places for some reason. I fully expect ipv8 to come out, with some sort of additionals for inter-solar routing or some such, before ipv6 gets fully adopted.
