But but but I need engagement for my team!

Well, the original commenter is not entirely wrong. Wayland would improve faster if things in real applications everyone cares about were noticeably broken.

Many apps do not use Wayland, but rather the XWayland fallback, so people are not up in arms about how broken various aspects of Wayland actually are for end users.

It's a funny kind of dance

Users are not your guniea pigs, either.

To convince people to use something, what you're proposing needs to be less-broken than what they already have. The whole "let's burn down their house because they don't want to move to the new one we built" attitude is a disgrace.

I use Sway (a Wayland compositor), but I'm embarrassed to admit that when I see the WaylandBrigade pulling crap like this.
