I’m surprised no one seems upset about this change.

Everyone seems to poke on the vim vs emacs/gnome vs kde/systemd vs everyone else but it seems to me the most toxic feud in the foss world has been x11 vs wayland. People had throwed shit at it because of their own specific issues and its "slow" development pace without realizing it's a titanic endeavour and the hate and toxicity brings absolutely nothing positive to the table nor the development of Linux & FOSS in general.

I think most realize that it is a titanic endeavour and know that it might take years until their issues are solved, so they get angry when people are like "works for me, so everyone should use it now". I've tried Wayland twice, each time it was deemed "ready" by someone, and each time something obvious was broken. x.org works and does what I want, so I'll continue using that.
