Well the people who are pushing wayland are the same people that are maintaining xorg, so I would argue they know what they are talking about.

I have also not heard of any one who loudly proclaims xorg is much beter and should instead be maintained to step up to actually do that.

Look at this very statement it's completely inaccurate in a trivial fashion that ought not required analysis but here we are.

The people who actually develop x or wayland are a tiny number of people. The people expressing opinions on the internet on tech is 1000x larger. The implications that the proponents are correct in their analysis because they develop it is fatally flawed if for no other reason than the subject is obviously not solely the tiny number of actual devs. Furthermore the arguments even of devs needs to stand on their own feet.

Look at the prior comments where someone complains that random crashes result in the entire session going down.

Who cares what anyone says about the theoretical design decisions regarding manifestly unsuitable tools.

You can make all the arguments you want but it won't do anything meaningful. If those 1000x people expressing opinions have the necessary domain expertise, and aren't just tossing out their feelings on what they think might be cool or might be nice in a perfect world, then they should start contributing to these projects and fixing the bugs.

I mean, I think it would be cool if my PC never crashed. Isn't it easy and fun to say things like that?

PCs running either Windows 10 or Linux with appropriate quality software and hardware almost never crash now so wish virtually granted I guess.
