- Handle rendering things to screen

- Handle user input

My issue is that while X has a LOT of other things it also happens to do, it just doesn't do those two primary things very well on modern hardware.

As an aside -

This reminds me of the systemd arguments all over again, but the same crowd that was ready to crucify systemd for all the things it does are now bemoaning all the things Wayland doesn't do.

But really, I think there are just a lot of folks who aren't willing to try something new, or to re-evaluate some of the toolchains they've made for themselves.

Now - I'm not going to blame them for that, having a working system change under you isn't fun, and it eats up time and resources some people don't have. But it also doesn't stop the new thing from replacing the old thing.

Particularly if the new things happens to be genuinely better in many respects.

And while I can certainly understand the pain point of missing features in Wayland, The way it gets user input and display output right are just delightful.

So delightful that I actually prefer it to my work macbook, which is not something I could ever say about X.
