Wayland gives us a lot. What you don't realize is that Wayland _is_ X12.

So far Wayland gave me only headaches and I do not see what it offers that X does not already provide. And the fact that Wayland make their case by lying, etc. the drawing commands BS, network transparency does not work (I feature we do use every day), etc. and the fact that important use cases such as accessibility are now treated as an afterthought that there are diverging implementations with inconsistent support for important functionality, ... all this does not build confidence that the developers even remotely know what they are doing outside of their narrow view on the Graphics pipeline itself. And this after decades of effort. Maybe it is too late now to save X, but Wayland was a terrible idea, not the idea of developing Wayland itself as an experiment with open result, but to declare X dead and Wayland its successor long before it was ready and before it was clear that it is actually a better replacement (so far, it isn't).
