Wayland is flawless for what it claims to do. The issue is you can't replace X Org with Wayland, you can only use Wayland combined with other software to replace X Org.

What they should have done is make sure all the features that x11 had were supported by Wayland.... - Source: Hacker News / 14 days ago
