Maybe in another nine years Wayland users can choose whatever screenshot tool they want. X is annoying but I'd go crazy if that was my life.

You can wait 9 years and have a low chance of your screenshot tool working on Wayland.

Or you can use a different tool that supports Wayland now.

Or you can can add Wayland support to your favorite tool now (assuming it's open-source).
