I feel like one of the biggest issues with Wayland is that the 'mob energy' of the people who really thought who could slay the Microsoft Dragon, and make 'Year of the Linux Desktop' happen just isn't there anymore. These people made things like drawing tablet support on X, as well as had the power of fixing all the little weird use cases you'd need for a truly large user base. It's really funny that open source is bigger than ever, but Desktop Linux development has ground to a halt, and is in the hands of skeleton crews, and stuffy bureaucrats who enforce edicts like 'you aren't allowed to theme your operating system' and 'you must use the text editor built by our specific denomination' on a platform that's supposed to be characterized by being 'free as in speech'.
