For me multiple desktop managers (KDE, gnome etc) is not a problem since Gnome 3 has become very competitive to Max OS X. The bigger problem is XOrg and it's constant tearing problem during video playback. People spend way too much time playing videos on their desktops to accept tearing. Wayland does not have this problem, and I therefore have great hopes in Wayland as a replacement for XOrg.
