It seems to me the main argument for Wayland is "Its not X". When you try and
find out what its actual advantages are you get vague nonsense about 
security and lack of cruft and a faster graphic instruction -> hardware path 
, which may be true but the difference will be minimal with modern X 
extensions and all but invisible with 99.9% of graphical applications unless
you maybe care about 60fps vs 65fps in some game.
