Seven months seems like a lot for people who do nothing but program, but
it will probably take an eternity for these guys to sort everything out.
Let's not forget that Wayland is _still_ not ready many years after
being announced.

 
Strange, since I have two different distros using Wayland.

They use it, but there's a reason that a lot of distributions like Linux
Mint haven't yet defaulted to it: it's problematic. Those problems
relate to it not being a finished product.

I've tried the experimental version of Wayland in Linux Mint. It had some
issues — some of it was compatibility issues with older applications, but it
also had issues with streaming videos. Noticeable blotches in the dark
portions of the videos (are these "artifacts"?). I think, however, Wayland
is working okay in Fedora. (I'll have to double check now.)

But, mainly, I see no real reason to change. X11 works well for me. I kind of
feel the same about "moving to Rust."
