The worst thing is that was done as the same time that wayland moved
input management to the window manager. Any random GUI action can now
result in feel-good GUI prettification that will starve input
processing of CPU, resulting in frozen mouse pointers and missed
repeated or reordered keystrokes.

So, useless desktop except as a browser shell where typing is marginal.
