When you dismiss any reasoning as "userhostile" and "FUD" it will be difficult to understand any change.
For the life of me I can't understand why so many people are always convinced that people who develop replacements for decades old frameworks do it only to spite users.
But the answer is: X sucks. It's 36 year old software with dozens of extensions. No one wants to write software that uses X, and apparently, per this HN submission, no one wants to maintain X.
OK, X sucks in a way (although your argumentation for that is wrong), but replacing X with Wayland is like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. (Also, I don't think Wayland fits in any hole nicely, with it being hostile to even such basic and universally expected features such as taking a screenshot.)
I don't understand where you are going with your first paragraph, except that you are assuming things about others that you should not. Similarly with the second paragraph.
less than a minute. And it is second time in decade I've tried Wayland.
>>> why is it being marketed as a X11 replacement? Why is there a constant FUD-included push to dissmis Xorg in favor of Wayland compositors?
>> "FUD"
> Wayland is intended as a simpler replacement for X, easier to develop and maintain. [1]
"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.
