Long time Linux (and therefore X11) user here. I'm not much of a programmer, more of a techy end user.
I have read of the supposed benefits of Wayland, but from what I can percieve, the cons (too numerous to mention, but mostly breaking a billion useful things that X has had for some time) seem to out weigh the pro. Yes, the pro. Fractional scaling.
I don't like actively cheering for something to fail, but I really don't get it. X11 is in no way broken enough to justify such a huge change, and I'm concerned that the KDEs and Gnomes of the world are going to ramrod the thing through regardless.
