Another datapoint: I'm a 20+ year off-and-on user of Linux who was never able to switch to desktop Linux for daily use because of the graphics issues. After recently deciding to abandon Windows for good and suffer whatever problems I would have with Linux, I was pleasantly surprised by the experience on Fedora/Wayland/Gnome. No issues with high DPI, per-monitor fractional scaling, tearing, bad performance, etc. which have plagued my Linux experiences in the past. There are still minor issues with Nvidia drivers, but this is very likely the fault of Nvidia and not the OSS community.

Whatever ideological debates there are underneath the X vs. Wayland divide, ultimately what I care about is things working as well as or better than other mainstream operating systems, and Wayland seems to deliver on that.
