    Sure, but that doesn’t change the fact that Wayland compositors are forced to be inflexible monoliths that need to be so tightly integrated into a DE that they can’t be replaced.

    In xorg the server, wm, and compositor all do their own thing and can be replaced trivially. It took me like 5 minutes to replace xfwm4 with i3, and that included the research.
