There's so much FUD about this
Seriously, guys, it's obvious and it's been obvious for a long time that NVidia is planning to support both Wayland and Mir. Both, because supporting either one essentially gives you support for both.
And while AMD's fglrx plans are unknown, they'll obviously match any support NVidia has. The only question is how long it will take them before they get around to doing it.

What makes you think the professional market will move to either, instead of staying on X for the next decade?

Where did you get the "no 3D" from? At least the free drivers will work fine with Wayland and 3D. And you don't really think that AMD or Nvidia will ditch their professional customers, which are most likely using RHEL or SELD (read: Wayland, not Mir), do you?

If there is not to be a 3D support for Wayland well then I think there is no point in using it. Moreover if Valve is targeting Ubuntu, then obviously AMD and Nvidia are going to preferentially write drivers for Ubuntu too. In that case I will be forced to ditch KDE in favor of accelerated Unity.

If Canonical gets it's way, we may have NV and AMD telling us that if we want drivers then we need to move to Mir. And that's the whole ballgame. because I see zero point in using something with hacked drivers and no 3D support. Past two days I've been on mailing lists and IRC channels and there isn't a soul that knows anything yet. It's all in wait-and-see mode with a lot of finger pointing.

Gentoo Starts Work On KDE-Wayland Support
Phoronix: Gentoo Starts Work On KDE-Wayland Support
Soon it will likely be possible to run a KDE desktop over Wayland using Gentoo Linux with its Portage packages...
