x.org has always been that way. Slow, hard to get started developing, and not really "sexy". it is critical infrastructure, but nobody wants to maintain it.

Wayland was at least started by people frustrated with the real problems in X. (unlike most other replace X projects I've seen over the last 20 years where were someone who had no idea what is really wrong proposing a solution that didn't solve the real problems.

Many of whom, it's worth pointing out, are themselves the core Xorg developers who don't want to be stuck maintaining Xorg forever.
