I'm not. Wayland lacks a lot compared to X.[1]

From the linked-to-post, it lacks:

* Programmatic output configuration (xrandr, arandr, etc.)

* CLI clipboard access (xsel, xclip)

* Third party app launcher/window switcher (rofi, dmenu, albert, docky).

* Clipboard managers (parcellite, klipper, Gpaste, clipman, etc.)

* Third party screen shot/capture/share (shutter, OBS, ffmpeg, import, peek, scrot, VNC, etc.)

* Color picker (gpick, gcolor3, kcolorchooser)

* xdotool

Lack of Wayland versions of these apps is a deal breakers for me, and I'm going to avoid Wayland until it gets them.
