As much as X11 is an overly complex and dated protocol, this article hits its mark well. My current desktop is actually running Wayland, but I still need X11 for a variety of reasons.
I see the development advantages of Wayland, but not the practical advantage as a user. And even as a developer, X11 is stable and well known (albeit definitely weird in places).
At the end of the day, things worked perfectly on X11 and my audio and video and various apps still glitch a lot on Wayland even after all these years. Most of that is not exactly Wayland's fault, but it highlights the advantage of X11. It's the devil you know (and everyone has worked out a lot of edge cases for).
