I work for 40 hours a week but I'm pretty sure only 2 are writing code. That's the problem. I'd happily write code for more hours

That's great and all, but last time I tried to use Wayland it was a buggy mess and lots of things didn't work. My Linux desktop experience under X with intel drivers works just fine.
