I use Talon. It simply doesn’t support Wayland, and I believe its maintainer who says that there are issues with Wayland which make support infeasible. Using it on X makes my nerve pain much less.
* Where did they say that?
* What are the issues?
I am trying to narrow down exactly what the issues are. Too much of the conversation is 'something' is broken in Wayland because of 'something'.
talks about it at length.
It seems the main things missing for Talon are:
- input emulation, doable via uinput but not great - standard way to query the list of windows and active focus - for dwell-click support, you need to be able to know if the user is moving their mouse or clicking so you can cancel your autoclick
Well my WM for a start. It did not migrate to Wayland.
And I also need to share screen from time to time (teams, Google chat, etc), which results in a dark screen for viewers in Wayland.
Any updates from Microsoft on this issue?
Thankfully, my employer uses Google Meet for most of the meetings.
Since Chrome/Chromium supports screen sharing with Wayland, it simply just works for me nowy while it never worked with the Elecrton-based desktop application.
* Have they posted what is blocking them? Besides a lack of hands on keyboards?

I think overall the problem with Wayland is that there is no user facing improvement over X that I know of.
I have no doubt it's more modern, better engineered, or whatelse. But in the end, the days of fiddling endlessly with your xorg.conf are over, and X _just works_ out of the box on any distro / device.
All Wayland bring me is a switch of WM, and some bugs when screensharing, for no visible benefit.
The only hope of value add I can see with Wayland would be per-monitor DPI. But last I checked, it was hackish at best.
