In the same spirit as the parent post, we can write the story of opposition to Wayland. If this seems to you as an overly confrontational rendition, please compare this to the original and ruminate on why it seems confrontational to you and if that reason in fact touches on the problem itself.

1. A bunch of developers decided to replace the windowing system with something more akin to Desqview.

2. People complained that this now broke their previously working remote desktop.

3. They got told that their use case was utterly unimportant compared to the very pressing issue of getting rid of screen tearing.

4. Upon comments that screen tearing is irrelevant if you don't actually have a desktop, they replied that someone could write a remote desktop extension for Wayland.

5. None of them did.

6. All of the people that actually wanted to get work done stopped listening to them and continued using X11.
