Wayland requires stuff like KDE (QT) and Gnome (GTK) to be ported to it to be useful.. or to bring their own stuff.

Qt5 now works on Wayland - and KDE has a release coming up (the dev code already works on Wayland)

When Mir was announed, Wayland was already past 1.0. About 60% of the GNOME applications currently run under Wayland. See https://live.gnome.org/Wayland/Applications.

Note that Mir requires the exact same stuff. Just that nobody posted a patch to add such support. It is all distro specific.

Not going to be integrated in upstream KDE in any case, see [1]. I don't think Gnome devs are particularly sanguine about it either.

As for me, I'm waiting for a hypothetical WLMonad.
