Wayland is the step that destroyed main adventage of X11 protocol - network transparency. And yes i use it heavily. Actually i don't see any real future for wayland and linux. Linux is already pushed out by *BSD on the professional side, and by Windows, Mac OS X,"smart"phones, android, etc... on avarage user size, with real "linux users" being less than 0.1% of all. Android is linux based but mostly kernel side. Of course you may see much higher stats as a lot of people have linux installed altogether with windows or Mac OS X, they normally use the latter, but want to be proud of being linux user. Linux now is mostly hype. Still it's very loud about it but that's only media reality.
