I'd love to use Wayland all the time, and we are almost there, but just so many quirks everywhere (especially with outdated Electron apps).

It really is nice once managed - it's hard to explain, but everything is very smooth. I would guess the display synchronization/mixed refresh rate support is to thank.

Some Electron-based things and Steam are the main holdouts I've noticed.

I suspect the Electron things at-large will be sorted out before Steam... they simply need to rebase while Valve has to modernize their libraries (ie: vgui)

Steam recently underwent a large GUI refresh, vgui has officially been retired.

That's just one I could name from memory - if you run xlsclients you'll still see Steam isn't Wayland
