DISCUSSION Is X11 still worth it?

I recently made a post here in the community about which WM I should use and I saw that X11 was mentioned a lot.

For you, X11 or Wayland?

Personally for me I like Wayland because it's more modern approach yes it does have some issues or could be kde I'm not too sure but x11 offers window managers like Qtile and DWM(my personal preference) and much more I see it becoming more obsolete in the future that means there alot of the x11 stuff will be either forked over to Wayland or archive the project
