"Intended" is not "ready". Could please cite your claims?

> replacing X with Wayland

Would you prefer if X.Org developers just abandoned it? We would have "X.Org is Abandonware" ten years ago.

And it is not zero sum game. These are different projects. People tried to fix X and failed. No one on this thread is going to maintain X.Org. But hope is not lost — another project have risen to maturity in last ten years. It covers some use cases and now you are bashing it because it is not perfect.

All of it while X.Org still works and I use it every day.
