The technical merits of Wayland are mostly irrelevant
In response to Wayland Breaks Your Bad Software
I say that the technical merits are irrelevant because I don't believe that they're a major factor any more in most people moving or not moving to Wayland.
With only a slight amount of generalization, none of these people will be moved by Wayland's technical merits. The energetic people who could be persuaded by technical merits to go through switching desktop environments or in some cases replacing hardware (or accepting limited features) have mostly moved to Wayland already. The people who remain on X are there either because they don't want to rebuild their desktop environment, they don't want to do without features and performance they currently have, or their Linux distribution doesn't think their desktop should switch to Wayland yet.

I won't mind moving to Wayland but really , X11/xorg just works to me with all the feat. (hidpi, multi-monitor etc...) I don't need fractional scaling, my 27" monitor is UHD but with right ppi set, everything looks good BUT I understand the interest.
And I do understand the need to move away from X because of Elon... just kidding. Yes, we need to move to a better architecture but it must 1:1 in term of feat/stability, at least.
