Ok, so I hate Wayland, I really do. This post sums up my reasons.
Input and keyboard layouts -- in Wayland, input and keymaps are set by your WM or DE. That's stupid! On X you have a single command - setxkbmap - it works on all window managers and DE's. But no! Why would Wayland have sane input management! Setting shortcuts for switching between Colemak and Czech keyboard? Impossible!
Support -- Nvidia not supported at all. Wayland is in many cases just not working properly, and it even has issues on my Intel laptop!
No window managers -- dwm? bspwm? openbox? Well sorry, but Wayland has no alternatives! The only thing that works on Wayland is Gnome - but it's even slower than on Xorg!
"It's the future." -- Nope. It's broken fundamentally. After 11 years of development. Wayland may be the future, but a very distant one. It still sucks after all the developement!
It's not a display server -- While X is a full server, providing input and output, Wayland is like half a display server, where the other half is the WM/DE. That makes many things behave differently in different WMs/DEs.
So, why don't we just use a stable and actually functional server, you know, X. Wayland sucks, and the whole idea behind it's technical state is totally wrong! So, no, thanks, I'll use X like a sane person.
(I'm ready for the hate on my opinion btw.)
