gnome on wayland has mostly been seamless for me. However, I still have this issue with focus following mouse that drives me crazy [1].

Also, in my 20+ years of using X, I have so many small utilities that I can't or don't yet have the energy to replace. Things like devilspie to set stick/utility window status on certain applications. Shortcuts to bring specific applications to the foreground/background (This is really nice for chat windows) and so many others.

The only "benefits" I really notice from wayland are videos don't tear and there is better integration with gestures. This is why I use wayland on my personal laptop where I consume more, but still run X on my workstation.
