This is still an important point. Wayland has been the default for awhile, but open source software is maintained by volunteers. Until each specific package has been updated by the original developers, it may not work well on Wayland. So, for now, there’s also a trade-off: Love running brand new shiny software, better use Wayland. Wayland has been the usual default for awhile, so new code is unlikely to get tested for speed and smoothness on X11. Have a whole set of preferred older good enough software that hasn’t been updated lately? Consider using X11 for a bit longer until someone who loves those tools updates them.
