When comparing it to X11; it absolutely isn’t. That isn’t me being unfair; just objectively comparing the two.
That isn’t saying it does not work as well or even better than X11 does; it just hasn’t existed for long enough yet to be nearly as widely adopted as X11 is. Gnome’s decision to adopt a Wayland only stance is fairly new and I’m waiting to see how that goes for them. With luck it will go well and increase the adoption of Wayland. I’m aware that plenty of Distros do include Wayland; and plenty have taken the plunge similar to Gnome; which is why they probably felt it was wise to follow suit, after observing Wayland succeeding in those Distros fairly well.
I’ll be honest … maybe you’re right but it’s not really my concern. I’ve got a billion other things to care about that are more important; you probably do too.
Seems to me like the video author is just trying to make more drama …
This sort of thing always happens anyways, some new thing comes along (systemd), some people want to use the old thing (sysvinit). Some people are like … “god why would you use that, you’re so dumb” ignoring any valid use case. Some other people fought very hard to convince people the new thing is great, so they’ve got a personal stake. (etc… etc…)
It’s not sinister, it’s at worst just people being annoyed that others are trying to hold onto the flame when we have light bulbs; my two cents.
Wayland is plenty mature and for most main stream use cases works better than X at this point.
There’s nothing sinister, the people working on X11 didn’t want to work on it anymore because it has a lot of issues in a modern stack.
