If not on Wayland, what's stopping you?

I switched to Wayland as soon as it was available because I have a mixed-dpi setup (multi-monitor with a hi-dpi screen and a standard-dpi screen) which isn't supported on X. That was a big compromise in the beginning, but it feels more like a mature product now. I specifically avoided Nvidia when I bought the machine because I've always had driver issues with them on linux.

The thing that I still really miss is custom shortcuts with keyboard macros, but I think that's probably just impossible with Wayland's security model.
