Counterpoint, if all of the people advocating for wayland actually worked on improving wayland to a usable state instead maybe people would actually want to use it.

No one's forcing you to use it. If you don't want to, stick to X11. I've been testing wayland for a few months now and it's fine. It does most of I want it to. I don't need fancy fractional scaling, adaptive refresh rates, or whatever other fancy stuff people complain about that isn't there. It shows my windows, allows screen-share, and... that's it. Only thing missing for me is scriptability.

I'm not advocating for Wayland nor X11, just saying to stop shitting on devs who give a lot of free time to write opensource code that none of us have to pay for. All we have to do is be nice - maybe report bugs, maybe maybe donate if we have the means.
