Think twice before abandoning X11. Wayland breaks everything!

Wayland breaks everything! It is binary incompatible, provides no clear transition path with 1:1 replacements for everything in X11, and is even philosophically incompatible with X11. Hence, if you are interested in existing applications to "just work" without the need for adjustments, then you may be better off avoiding Wayland.

Wayland solves no issues I have but breaks almost everything I need. Even the most basic, most simple things (like xkill) - in this case with no obvious replacement. And usually it stays broken, because the Wayland folks mostly seem to care about Automotive, Gnome, maybe KDE - and alienating everyone else (e.g., people using just an X11 window manager or something like GNUstep) in the process.

Goals

The goal is to make code more productive and clean in cases where multiple classes with same name must be used in code. It should relief a developers frustration in that

I am in the process of introducing single page applications to where I work. For development, using node based build tools is much easier for the single page applications. However, the build process for our organization is based upon maven. Our solution started with the maven plugin frontend-maven-plugin. It worked great at first, but then we ran into a situation that I couldn't make work with it.

As stated before, at our organization, we have the older ecosystem which is maven and the newer ecosystem which is node. Our goal was to keep the hacking to a minimum. We did this by putting all of the hacks into a single super node based build file. This is what maven calls and the reason frontend-maven-plugin wasn't sufficient. The super node based build script calls all of the other build scripts by spawning npm run. Try as I might, I could not figure out how to make the spawn work. front-end-maven-plugin downloads npm
