No. The people who thanklessly maintained X for years have made their choice. If you want to take up that slack, go ahead. The codebase sucks and X has many missing features, some of which Wayland supports or at least can feasibly implement at some point before the heat death of the universe. Every single person that says: “if we put all that effort into X instead we would be better off” has no idea what they are talking about and has clearly never spoken to a developer who actually worked on X.
can’t reproduce the functionality we had in the '90s
Good. Fuck the ancient shit that has been collected over the years. There are still missing features that Wayland compositors need at some point and there are things that used to be easier with X, but if you can’t actually name anything then I’ll just assume you’re being contrarian.

if you can’t actually name anything then I’ll just assume you’re being contrarian. I did - in my very first post. I won’t repeat it here because I don’t care. There are lots. But hey - you got your individual monitor scaling so… I guess fuck everything else yeah?
