@ndegruchy@fosstodon.org @tobtobxx I'm waiting for a compositor that isn't a usability regression:

1. Crash recovery equivalent to how I can restart Kwin when it starts to act up after a couple of weeks of uptime (less with compositing enabled) while Xorg keeps my desktop session logged in for months at a time.

2. APIs that devs don't want in Wayland proper for non-technical user safety, such as allowing time-tracking apps to monitor changes to the active window title.

3. Something lighter and less prone to user customizations causing the compositing pipeline to stutter than Mutter.

4. Server-side window decorations and a QWidget/pre-Win8 UI design philosophy. I'm already in the process of replacing GTK+ apps with Qt ones as the GNOME 3 HIG's influence continues to spread.

5. Stable support for my nVidia GPU (or, failing that, waiting for it to die so I can buy an AMD GPU from a local store that accepts no-shipping-cost returns if the stability/non-bugginess of the AMD drivers proves inferior to what I've come to expect from nVidia over the last last 15+ years since I chose them for TwinView in the bad old days of early Xinerama.)
