Wake me up when wayland just works for basic things I need and use daily, and I don't have to hear some diatribe about why what I do daily is wrong.

(What I do may be "wrong" in some cosmic technological sense, but it's still "the only thing supported by the software vendor" and also "isn't actually broken" in the sense of "works just fine". Unlike wayland, which "doesn't work just fine")

When Wayland has its regularly scheduled "break basic functionality" day of the month, distributions are still to this day telling their users to use Xorg as a workaround until it's fixed. If we want Wayland adoption we eventually have to get our shit together, it has been 16 years of this.

Wayland was a misguided design to begin with, but fine we are stuck with it now. Now we need to get this thing into a stable state and stop people from breaking it every five minutes.

Yes, its all a big conspiracy against X11, lets all slander these selfish open source developers that don't sacrifice enough of their time and dare to make technical choices you don't agree with. How about you step up and maintain the X11 backend for "QTK" yourself.
