I've tried the experimental version of Wayland in Linux Mint. It had some 
issues — some of it was compatibility issues with older applications, but it 
also had issues with streaming videos. Noticeable blotches in the dark 
portions of the videos (are these "artifacts"?). I think, however, Wayland 
is working okay in Fedora. (I'll have to double check now.) 

But, mainly, I see no real reason to change. X11 works well for me. I kind of 
feel the same about "moving to Rust."
