Even xfce will one day move to Wayland.

With a project as user/dev hostile as wayland, it's much better to be a 'last mover' than first.

For the life of me, I'll never understand how wayland got traction with the community.

'Hey guys, we decided to implement a display server from scratch! We broke a ton of existing functionality and made a ton of low level stuff that X used to handle the responsibility of WM/DE devs!'

		Wayland is not a "display server", it's a display protocol. A lot of the "existing functionality" that it broke has nothing to do with displays, it's stuff that got crammed into Xorg at some point whether it made sense or not. I find it quite funny that many of the same people that rag on systemd for doing too many things are big fans of Xorg.
