Good points!
Yes, I definitely agree.
Just for the sake of completeness, though, you don't have to supervise the compilation-process. I normally upgrade my system while doing work and it doesn't get in the way .
Thanks for elaborating this problem so well!
I am very eager to find out how they will develop. Just mind, though, that Wayland's performance is highly dependent on a given implementation (-> compositor).

To be fair, using Windows 8 I found it to be *technically* good. The fiasco is in two areas: it forces you to use the touch optimized interface even when you use a mouse and a keyboard, when the old interface did a lot better in that aspect, it screws their community (specially their third party apps programmers) with Modern apps (they take 30% of your revenue from you, when the OS is supposed to already be paid by users, and when the apps running on Windows are the main reason for a user to buy Windows), and the stupid Modern overall while running on a desktop, is like being forced to use a tiling window manager in the best case. All the interface related problems are there strictly because they force the desktop user to behave like it's in a cellphone; for a mobile platform, it's great (or sort of).
I think it will be better with Mir than with X. It will probably lag behind Wayland, and will be worse than with X until they quit using XMir, but after that I can't see how it will be worse than it's with X when running Mir.
