    I should probably say I am not anti wayland (though X11 works well for me on a wide range of hardware including my phone). But the linux.conf.au 2013 talk makes a pretty good case https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIctzAQOe44 (it should also be required viewing before anyone is allowed to comment on wayland)
