Tldr: No need to switch yet.

I admire the endurance of the wayland devs though.

Edit: added tldr
- Permanently Deleted
- Unfortunately in production use Wayland feels like X.org from around 2000 (before the renaming). I was told not to worry about 'corner cases' but when small bugs pop up daily I just can't drive Wayland on my main office machine, although I'd really like to.
  
  Give examples? Apart from RDP not being functional I don't see any reason for a simple office box.
- If you're using KDE, the improvement will be amazing.
  
  Would never switch back
  
  I do. What's the difference?
