* Choosing a desktop layout that will survive reboots or, even worse, display configuration changes seems impossible. Those panels and widgets are simply all over the place. I even managed to loose my panel completely, even though it wasn't removed it was somewhere in the prugatory or non-existing screen.
* There's no way to have control on where some windows appear, which is very bad especially for games (and no, games won't open on the screen that has focus/cursor, they most likely open on what's the 'first' output, which in my case is always my left monitor hooked up with DP no matter what).
You see, GNOME's solution feel a bit hacky and they do some stuff in the opposite way to what the rest of the ecosystem and they preserved the 'primary display' thing in Wayland session. Guess what - no such issues, pretty painless experience when dealing with whatever multi display setups, at least to my experience.
Yeah yeah, because it could be done better than this, but there's obviously nothing to fill the gap just yet. Maybe in next 5 years a new protocol will be introduced to deal with this particular issue and in 2 years after that KWin will finally have that covered.
