that's the main reason i already frozen package tree, so i will be able to 
use Xorg in 5 years or more.

Wayland is the step that destroyed main adventage of X11 protocol - 
network transparency. And yes i use it heavily.

Actually i don't see any real future for wayland and linux. Linux is 
already pushed out by *BSD on the professional side, and by 
Windows, Mac OS X,"smart"phones, android, etc... on avarage user size, 
with real "linux users" being less than 0.1% of all.

Android is linux based but mostly kernel side.

Of course you may see much higher stats as a lot of people have linux 
installed altogether with windows or Mac OS X, they normally use the 
latter, but want to be proud of being linux user.

Linux now is mostly hype. Still it's very loud about it but that's only 
media reality.
