Wayland is awesome in itself (Weston has really nice performance, love the graphical perfection of apps), but the fact that Mutter/GNOME Shell is built as some kind of JavaScript/C blob makes no sense when you now are promoting the compositor to act as the server also. I just feel like the GNOME Shell performance simply doesn't cut it. Even if Xorg is old as shit and slow, it still brings far better user experience than the current JavaScript-based Wayland. I love Red Hat but it needs to be an improvement over X, it cannot be freezing and losing input like this. Toss out JavaScript and build it with a real language.
