It's not all about whether X or Wayland is better or worse.

It IS all about change.

When the change over comes there will be a great wailing, tearing of 
clothing and gnashing of teeth. Things will be DIFFERENT. Not what 
everyone is used to.

How many messages a month do we see on the lists complaining that

The "I can't find *************. It used to be at *******" sort of message.
