I think the XMir project has many benefits for users that everyone seems to not notice.....
XWayland: Only applications can run. User must be using DE running natively under Wayland with applications for all non-wayland-native-DE (Xorg apps and pre-wayland gnome2, kde4, E17 apps, ect) can only be run as single applications.
IE: if your DE of choice hasn't been converted to Wayland native yet, then too bad.
XMir: DE and applications can run (later application only mode will be supported). User can be running DE running natively under Mir or XMir for all DE's and applications.
IE: Users have more choices. Use a Mir native DE or not, your choice.
I see this as a HUGE advantage and great for users to assist with the post-Xorg times transitions that Wayland doesn't support. Its USE NATIVE or too bad with Wayland. There's a choice with Mir/XMir.
(this user will not debate grammar or the use of the English language)
