Many of those major problems (which you call annoyances) will never be sorted out because the "Wayland Comitte" has decided that even the basic functionality is "out of scope".

After 15 years of development Wayland developers have not only proven to be incompetent but also resistant to learn. As such they can't be trusted to ever come up with anything functional.

The Wayland developers are the X11 developers. The reason there's no more development on X11 is because everyone got fed up and left for Wayland.

[sprash]

This is obviously wrong. The most capable X11 developers retired (like KP) and the least capable developers of the younger generation started Wayland.

Keith Packard was working on Wayland and XWayland...

It's as the other commenter says. This is just a story you told yourself to justify your opinion after the fact. X11 is ancient and its sprawling patchwork codebase shows it.

[sprash]

Despite being ancient it's still better than Wayland. The "same developers" narrative is just a story you tell yourself to justify your opinion after the fact. Wayland is fundamentaly flawed on every level. Its sprawling patchwork of parallel infrastructure an duplicated effort shows it.

This is the story the Wayland developers, including KP, are telling you. This isn't an ideological war, this is software history.
