Ah, jeez not again!
No offence but if people would have read the comments of previous posts they could have read that multiple better informed/capable people then Michael told X is good and Wayland does not solve anything.
Here is some brain-gymnastics for the people who do think Wayland is the bomb: how come all of those smart and talented programmers working on X aren't abandoning it and start working on the Wayland project?

Because Wayland is premature.
Because Wayland is not compatible with any widget toolkit.
Because Wayland is not a client <-> server replacement.
Because Wayland is new.
Because X.org is working right now.
But can Wayland remain compatible with Xlib for proprietary games?
But can Wayland become compatible with X.org client without running X.org?
If the two But's (haha... ha... ... .. ha...) are true and Qt would support Wayland... why not? If it is smaller, cleaner and faster why the hell not? If otherwise I can see the problem...

xorg is old, it has a large number of lines of outdated code, so it will be awesome to get an updated windows server making use of modern kms, dri2, opengl... functions. Nothing is going to work much better in wayland (if it gets implemented), it will be simply a major clean up. But yes, wayland is in a very premature stage.
