The biggest feature of X is the biggest anti-feature of Wayland -- how much is able to be shared from one place to another and what level of support the toolkits and environments have for whatever it is that you're doing; how everyone reinventing the wheel (their implementation) makes it seem like we're losing more and more smaller WMs like IceWM, JWM, and Fluxbox and the ability to do random WM swaps like putting KWin on XFCE or Fluxbox on Anywhere since so much isn't shared like it used to be.
Granted, X is 38 and Wayland is 10. It's not like kids are great at sharing. Given time Wayland could share all the things expected of X with better security. It's not like X was like it is now on its first day or first decade.
