It's like the "oh no, X11 suffers from tearing video" problem that they pull out all the time. (A) I have no idea what "video tear" is and (B) I play video all the time on my crappy laptop running X11 and it seems fine for me. But can I ssh to my remote server and run emacs or another program completely transparently yet with Wayland? Nope. I do that with X11 continuously.

I've seen video tearing on X. Usually it doesn't happen, often it's hard to notice anyway; and when it did happen and was annoying, I just was missing some setting or other. No big deal.
