Nothing about it is robust, it just exists. It has been around for decades, sure, but it also has not been common or popular for at least a decade or two now. It primarily exists in old applications still rocking their original, unchanged UI.
I have sympathy for existing applications, but I strongly believe it would be entirely inappropriate for a new application to be written with such UI - it was never a good idea, nor did it ever work well. It was just an idea that we have moved on from.
> It seems crazy to me that there's so much feedback
Not specific ot Wayland, but there is always absurd amounts of "feedback" to any high profile projects, which unfortunately means that most of it is useless noise, hit-and-run tantrums over the mildest inconvenience, and "ideas for solutions" by people who spent less than 5 minutes trying to understand the problem. This in turn means that it can sometimes be harder than it should be for good feedback to make it through.
