  1.  @elmariachi5133  I feel like some Linux desktops have gone astray. Basically, launch software and get out of my way is what I ask. Instead we get "I wish we was Microsoft". Fortunately, some still aspire to that and are even the default in some distributions.

  2. I like to see advancement and X definitely has its issues but I'm always mindful of the joelonsoftware essay "Things You Should Never Do, Part I" and it seems like the Wayland people might be running into some of the things he warned about. X had decades of development and refinement and those developers weren't just twiddling their thumbs.

  3.  @leopard3131  The issue likely is that they had a rough idea of what level of effort was required to maintain X (and some careful refactoring may have improved that) but likely hugely underestimated the effort required to bring up a completely new project from scratch to ready for primetime.
