It's easier for developers to maintain and extend. X11 is a mass of crufty old
code, vestigial organs whose functions have been taken over by other programs,
and half-baked extensions, or so I'm told. It likely has multiple security holes
hidden in the less-used codepaths.
For 90% of users, Wayland shouldn't make much difference. The other 10%
are going to have to find substitutes for features like display forwarding that
X does but Wayland doesn't (and never will). Despite this, Wayland is likely
to be adopted by all distros eventually because no one wants to maintain X
anymore.
Porting TDE to Wayland will likely require some work on QT3 first. Then on
the window manager. I'm not sure if it affects other components.

I guess this would be essential for increasing Wayland adoption. And when
it comes to Wayland and the TDE, could you create a bug-tracker ticket so
that we can track progress (even if very slow) for TDE's Wayland support,
please?
It may be m ignorance, but I have never met Wayland in the wild. What does it do, that
X11 does not?
