Nobody gives a rats ass about your opinion about its usefulness. I’m installing this tonight. I have to bet you have released little or no open source software.

Wlroots does a lot of the heavy lifting here, and that is by design. It’s now much easier to write Wayland compositors than it used to be. So yeah, we can have these enlightenment style things that get used once again.
