To each their own. I've been running Sway on most machines. I only run X11 in one place, because there nvidia stability forces me to use i3 instead[1].
Sway and Wayland is just SO much better than X11 and i3. No screen tearing. Keyboard doesn't just randomly reset its mapping. More stable. Window resizing just works, instead of having X and i3 teams do blame fingerpointing.
I've had multiple annoying bugs in X eventually reach a core X developer, who then says "yeah that's a bug, but it's core to X, so it basically cannot be fixed".
> Fifteen years, and Wayland still isn't as good as X11.
To each their own. For me it's not even close. I'm so done with X11.
[1] that may be solvable. I'm not up to speed on the latest in nvidia driver bullshit. But I rarely use that machine, so it's probably less pain to just live with i3 instead of fixing it.
