That's not what Wayland is like these days - screenshots etc have been implemented for years now

The point they're making is that, as a totally distinct project, every single feature had to be implemented from scratch. It's not a fast process, especially relying on volunteer labour

that's something

I've heard that synergy/barrier/etc doesn't work though and that is critical for my daily workflow so I won't be switching until it is supported
