Things in the Wayland space seem to be moving along fine, I am all for it. Recently I moved to Sway and am going to try using it as my one window manager going forward (force some learning!) Sway by the way uses something called "wlroots" (developed by same people as Sway, but any other project can use) which is kind of like Mir, just an alternative choice, each probably with the various strengths and usage cases. Both use the Wayland protocol.
