This is just a reminder to be nice to your maintainers folks. XOrg has had 16 years to get to the functionality level it has, and there are massive holes in it's security model etc that Wayland is attempting to solve. It's going to take time for it to reach feature parity. And they have to bring along all of the popular applications while they are at it.
If you're going to complain, at least be constructive, research solutions yourself and provide feedback that has value.
I'm not sure if the Wayland contributors are overreacting, but I'm guessing people are not being nice when something doesn't work and write posts like "Wayland sucks so bad it doesn't work on XYZ" rather than posting "So I found out that Wayland doesn't work for XYZ, how can I help the project with this?"
And helping in the context might be as simple as writing up the use case and providing logs, or maybe raising the issue with the app developer.
<3 to all the maintainers out there - thanks for your hard work.
The open source ecosystem is all of ours and we should nurture it rather than just wine about it's problems. At least they are our problems and we can have a meaningful impact on them :)
