All that really says about these projects it what's already plainly obvious: X11 is an old project and Wayland hasn't caught up yet for every minor thing you might want it to do. X11 has more than 40 years of development behind it, it isn't easy to catch up to all the features that have been built into and on top of X in the about 8 years (at most) Wayland has been getting the majority of attention.

> "you might want it to do" This is my problem with Wayland zealots. First and foremost I want it to display windows on my laptop and my desktop and not freeze my computer on start. Then, I would like to have more than 10 frames per second when it'll finally start. Is that too much to ask? Wayland doesn't deliver these two points on my setup. Should I change my hardware to match your hardware? Wayland development is already in progress for 15 years. And it sill fails to provide basic screen displaying capabilities. I have nothing against the technology, just against the people running the show. I think Canonical has made a mistake to cancel Mir.

It's not about coders. It is about the Wayland spec itself missing features that the maintainers of the spec are bike shedding over, for example, color management and HDR. >8 years (at most) Wayland has been getting the majority of attention. Color management on Wayland has been discussed for over 10 years by now.[0] In fact this proposal contains code to implement color management! So it is not about code. It is about bikeshedding the spec. [0] https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2014-March/013951.html https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2014-Ma...
