I'm with you. I haven't had major issues with X11 for a good couple of decades. Ever since I didn't have to manually edit xorg.conf, I forget when that happened.

Granted, my requirements were simple, a laptop and occasionally one external monitor, though the issues I did run into were related to graphics drivers and NVIDIA shenanigans, but not to X11.

Now that I'm on Wayland, I do feel that visuals are slightly more responsive and crisper, but honestly, it wasn't worth replacing a bunch of my programs, significantly altering my workflow, and dealing with numerous new issues I didn't have to deal with before.

Unfortunately, the momentum is now fully with Wayland, and it's only a matter of time until X11 stops being supported altogether. The XLibre project is a noble idea, but a few contributors can't maintain an entire ecosystem on their own.
