I don't think I'll switch to Wayland for a few years, until it's usable. They don't have a portable way to script it yet, like wmctrl or something. Can't get anything to work there.

I don't see wayland ever being really usable. Wayland is now as old as Xorg was when wayland started because X11 is "old and crufty" and still not usable. And the "clean" protocol is simply lacking so again we started stacking whatever shit on top like compositor dependant extensions for screenshots or screensharing, desktop portals etc. and are STILL missing features like control over windows placement....
