I am not an X window programmer (don't even know C), but my impression
is that X has quite a few design warts that many people would love to
get rid of. And you cannot really blame X for that, it's more than
25 years old and was designed at a time where GUIs were still quite
uncommon.
I cannot judge whether Wayland is in any way better, though.

As a Debian user, you shouldn't forget political reasons as an important
impetus for change. ;-)
