I think everyone, whether you want Wayland or not, would like to move away from X.

I'm not terribly eager to move away from X. I'll switch if there's something that runs all my programs, and does everything X does but cleaner and better. A POSIXy version of rio from Plan 9 would be a good start.

But Wayland isn't that and I'm not eager to adopt Wayland. Let alone fucking Mir.
