I've read dedo/Igor's stuff; reviews, criticisms, perspectives, for 
years. He doesn't fall into a 'fan-boi' category.  Some of his 
criticisms have fallen on my 'deaf' ears because his perspective is 
different from my own.

I've also listened to linux users who are 'frustrated' by the linux 
'tiny' percentage of the desktop market and especially frustrated by the 
powerfully negative fragmentation condition.

To me, the fragmentation is a form of 'the price of freedom', which 
freedom is so powerful that even MS has jumped onto the open source 
bandwagon in its own MS way.

I share dedo/Igor's 'disappointment' in the current Wayland adoption 
evolution; and in fact, the term 'evolution' from a biologic sense is 
like the 'diversity' of the linux condition.

Personally I remain optimistic for the future; I don't CARE how few 
linux desktops there are, I would LUV for the Wayland process to find 
its way, I don't share dedo/Igor's unhappiness w/ systemd, because I 
believe that the success of the systemd 'fork' is a good thing, not a 
bad thing.

Time will tell how Wayland problems will eventually work out; it is NOT 
like the Hindenburg disaster, not is systemd.
