Sway is a great project. I use it on a laptop with Intel graphics. I've tried to use it elsewhere, but I've found that the limiting factor is everything else -- applications that are still using X11 (supported under Wayland but often with surprising behavior), drivers that don't support Wayland, or don't support it properly, and the general immaturity of the Wayland world. Wayland is the graphics equivalent of PulseAudio circa 2009: clearly the way of the future, on an upward trajectory, but still experiencing growing pains and making a lot of people angry.

Oh no so then people will talk the good old days before Wayland which messed everything?

People that still complain about pulseaudio drives me nuts. Sound was the second worst thing about Linux, only wirelesss internet was worse.
