1 ) I was also under that impression, but coming to think about it who created that expectation, the community or Canonical? I don't know.
2) Calling unity a fiasco, is like calling it a failure. Which I believe is simply not true.
Yes some people didn't like it and moved on or made their opinions heard on forums etc.
But Canonical has a plan with Unity, and at the end of the day it gives a better user experience to me and hopefully a lot of other Ubuntu users.
3) There is reasons to unseat X and there is reasons not to unseat X. But what to unseat it with lies with the people that have certain problems, and maybe the problems Ubuntu face with mir is differently to the problems wayland and its community face.
I personally would like to see two different tools, then one large tool like X, and if you read the article they explain why they decided on mir instead.

Mark Shuttleworth created that expectation, when he made a blog post saying Unity would be switching to Wayland: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/551 http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/551
- oneweekwonder 14y agoThanks for the link! I did a quick google for "ubuntu having problems with wayland" and some interesting links got returned regarding developers struggling to get wayland working, so it didn't get dropped suddenly. It seems that the mir spec is a public statement that after 2 years they are giving up for a alternative, with reasons and a alternative. With some individuals up in arms with the discusion, but how should Ubuntu have handles it differently, while keeping to a deadline.
- 0x09 14y ago> Calling unity a fiasco, is like calling it a failure. This has gotten singled out so I'd better say that I meant to find a more polite way of saying "shitstorm". It's not a judgement on Unity itself, but I think it's fair to call the reaction at the time a fiasco.
- joseph_cooney 14y agore: Unity - agree. Although I was initially skeptical, now I like it, and it makes more sense in the context of ubuntu on tablets.
- danielweber 14y agoI still use Unity, for some reason, and I am shell-shocked it was allowed to be released. I've never worried about window focus failing to work properly until Unity. I've never had terminal windows fail to be refreshed when scrolling text until Unity.
