main reason was the lack of security with X11 since it's apparently insecure
X11 has been secure for decades. But ask a Wayland proponent and they will say it's insecure, ...
Exactly. As Patrick Volkerding pointed out recently, if the Xorg-server were as insecure as the Wayland proponents claim, you'd think there would be security catastrophes happening regularly, as the hackers went after all that Xorg/X11 low-hanging fruit! Yet this never seems to actually happen...
In fact, as with any "mature" code-base so complex, (some might call it "spaghetti code,") there are bound to be "insecurities" discovered. Ever since I personally started following the CVEs for Xorg-sever almost a decade ago, all the vulnerabilities have been disclosed by white-hat security research, and freedesktop.org releases updates to patch the flawed code.
In any event, I myself don't see Wayland "taking over," no matter how hard IBM/Red Hat or anyone else tries to push it...
Just my two cents...
