For me personally the only sane desktop environment for Linux in 2020 is XFCE but it doesn't support Wayland in any shape or form. Even xfce4-panel doesn't start under it. In the past I loved KDE3 but KDE5 IMO is an abomination.
By the way, why XFCE is "the only sane desktop environment"? Define "sane" please....

It's the usual lets create something new and shiny to replace the old, but learn nothing from the past and make all kinds of stupid design decisions.

Input lag on a Wayland compositor? I have been playing Counter Strike GO (too much admittedly) on Gnome/XWayland for months and I don't have any problems (Arch Linux, Gnome 3.36 Wayland session) . On the contrary, my current rank is Gold Nova Master (here's some context: https://totalcsgo.com/ranks) and I can assure you that you can't play on that level if input lag would be a significant problem. If the Gnome dev-crew can figure out how to reduce input lag even further I would expect that to be great news for my ranking :-)

Whatever people here may think or like and dislike doesn't matter in the end. As far as I can see x.org X11 has no real crew of developers anymore behind it, and thats defining it's future. Yes, it's still sort of maintained, but that will end sometime. We've already reached the point where no new releases get out of the door, and the expert developers seem to spend their time on polishing newer and better solutions. I expect that parts of X11 (that are only needed in pure X11 sessions) will fall into disrepair in the future. Not this year, but maybe next year or the year after. You can see where this is going...
