I've often wondered why there are so many people who want X to just die and will dismiss any criticism against Wayland. They sure do like shifting the blame elsewhere instead of acknowledging that some users do have issues running their applications.
Just yesterday I checked again if anything's changed, but nope. Jitsi Meet flickers, gr-fospher flickers and doesn't even render the plot, Emacs Application Framework doesn't work, etc. All these work perfectly fine with X.
Here is an excellent opportunity for those who believe in the continued development of X to pick up maintenance and push it forward. Time will tell at the end.

You could almost swap systemd and sysvinit out here. the biggest difference is that X and Wayland is a true dichotomy here.
The only way to make Wayland work is to burn the boats. It sucks but that's the truth.
