#3People using software that breaks with Wayland keep to their existing window system. News at X11.

#4Yikes!
I have no experience or knowledge regarding Wayland, infact this post was the first I have heard of it. That being said, if the author's rant truly reflects the attitude of the community, it's sounds pretty toxic.

Standing as an outside observer, usually when someone posts about progress on Wayland they are immediately greeted by "Well, I don't like it." "That sucks" "just use X" etc.
I've seen that sometimes here, although it's more frequent on Reddit.

I mean, that's just internet in general, isn't it?

It's really a shame how that happens, it is pretty much a universal problem. I have seen people get into physical fights and shouting matches IRL charitable organizations where everyone is volunteering their time.
The OP's feelings are probably justified and I can empathize with them but the rant was still jarring and probably won't have any impact on the haters but will affect others.
Just my thoughts, maybe I'm virtue signaling a bit too much.

Which of course means that it must be good enough for everyone, because it works for you.

#9> Maybe Wayland doesn’t work for your precious use-case.
> Wayland works for almost everyone...
Oh good. Tell me how to get XFCE running with Wayland then?
I'm not a user of X11 or Wayland, not really. I just picked a DE that I liked. I guess my choice puts me firmly in the anti-Wayland camp though since I won't be running it anytime soon.
