> not having to ever again touch Xorg.conf has improved my quality of life

I haven't touched xorg.conf in decades. I suppose you might have to do it to configure some unique setup, but for me this hasn't been an issue in a long time.

Now with Wayland, instead of having to touch a single config file, we have to learn how each compositor/WM is configured, and do it there instead. It hardly seems like an improvement in that regard, IMO.

Not really. I only need to know how to configure the compositor which I use. I don't need to know how to configure all the other compositors, in the same way I didn't know how to configure all the existing Xorg window managers.
