> When I wrote the above, I didn't really realize what Wayland even was

This is an edit to the first section of the article. Seems like OP already had his mind made up about something he still doesn't properly understand.

You don't need to understand something to know it's problematic and bothersome. I don't understand Windows, but it has never failed to surprise me with how badly simple OS operations can be screwed up.

Especially given complaints like "Wayland doesn't support X11 atoms", "X11 window managers aren't being ported to Wayland", and "xkill/xclip/xdotool don't work on Wayland".

Does OP think that Wayland is another X11 server, or are they just so accustomed to X11 being the only graphical user interface on Linux that they can't comprehend that it's being replaced?

Well, good luck fixing X windows

Just use XFCE or KDE. They work just fine.
