    The "attack" was started by the first poster "Adolf" who thought anyone who didn't use a computer they way he does i.e. use X, was a twat and he attacked Wayland like a knob head (and possibly scared of having to learn something new). Otherwise this might have been a reasonable discussion.

    "If Wayland gives better fullscreen video, then I'd like that. Someone running a server won't have to do the same, though - it's not like X11 will disappear at the first sight of Wayland success." -

    yep, i run my system as a desktop so i'd like a desktop that works better and wayland/mir seem to heading that way, if i need to run server system with X then i should have the option. There are always more than one way to skin a cat

    "If all of the competent people working on Wayland would stop wasting time on it and improve the X server, think how much better it might be." - i think thats what happened. They tried, decided it was a bag of worms (an example sited by D. Stone: no way to code control of the volume via the keyboard once the screensaver (or screen lock) was up), too high latency etc, so they gave up and started Wayland. Check his 45 minute video on Youtube where he explains quite a few reasons why.

    " The feds should just let the market figure it out. "

    this isn't one of those areas that should be totally market driven, most people are very lazy about these sorts of things. Imagine if the feds didn't intervene in pollution from vehicles, you'd still be using leaded petrol and there would be no control the amount of pollutants being emitted from vehicles
