It doesn't handle even decimal I don't dare try fractional. I guess our standards differ, it's not fine.
> You have to look really deep to find stuff that doesn't work (like event log or group policy editor, leftovers from a bygone era Windows, things I don't use day to day, and I'm sure nobody uses them every day)
It really doesn't take much to stumble upon things like that when you use Windows on a daily basis. I wouldn't call system menus "leftovers from a bygone era".
If you restrict yourself to only the parts of UI that mostly scale well, of course then scaling works well. But that's silly.
> As it is now, as a developer, using a browser and Jetbrains IDE or VS Code, Wayland is completely unusable and makes the whole Linux space feel more like a toy than a professional tool.
Neither JB IDEs or VS Code are native Wayland applications. Though I can't say I've had issue with JetBrains' software under Wayland's scaling.
