Not many people know Wayland and X11 are build by the same people Freedesktop.org and It is not like X11 is a competing display to Wayland with one being conservative and traditional and other being progressive and new as it has been portrayed on the internet as most people on the internet try to find politics at every place...lol... Wayland is the most serious attempt to make a successor of old and clunky but extensible X11....

In addition to that some people take the features of X that look good in theory and attempt to present them as advantages over W, but while these indeed look good on paper, they have failed to be adopted in the software we use nowadays — despite there being plenty of time for that. W doesn't "lack" these features, it drops them on purpose.
@m0xee yes indeed
@safiuddinkhan
For example transmitting the control stream over the network and not just images like VNC does might indeed look advantageous — but that's not how modern software works and it ends up being still transmitting images, same like W does, but with added complexity. Some things are probably worthy of being re-implemented like precise window positioning — I don't use that, but at least there are sensible use cases for that, others should just be left behind.
