The wayland devs ARE the Xorg devs. They all decided that Xorg wasn't worth maintaining because it has too much legacy baggage[0]. The rest is just a bunch of entitled whining users that dont like change.

Correct, I don't like changes that break my workflows or (at times) my entire system.

I don't believe I, and the many users who share my preference, deserve insults for that.

It's entirely normal for users not to like change less yet when the benefits are nebulous even if justifiable and accrue to the developers while the users bear costs in terms of decreased stability, increased complexity, and fewer features.
