I was tinkering with building a wayland hello world a few weeks ago (on manjaro+gnome), and I could reliably hang the desktop by starting to create a window but not finishing the handshake. Many reboots later, even after finishing the handshake, running my app would break mouse input across the system until reboot. I never did figure that one out.
The experience left me feeling that any misbehaving app/driver can break the desktop. And since you can't restart the window manager without losing your session, you'll lose a bunch of time every time something goes wrong.
btw I should say I was seriously impressed by the UI in general and how smooth everything felt, but stability is ultimately more important for me.
