Xorg vs Wayland isn't a thing because Wayland is the replacement for Xorg.

Wayland doesn't really replace Xorg, tons of things are nonworking, downright weird, stupid or neglected in Wayland. The original article even says so.

I read the article four times and didn't find a reference to tons of things not working, weird, stupid, or neglected in Wayland.

The people who used to work on X now work on Wayland. It is the way forward for graphics on Linux as Xorg is unmaintained. How does that not mean that Wayland replaces X?

Except a lot of things don't work with it. For example shortcuts.

Which is why people keep using xorg… wayland is NOT a drop in replacement.

Keyboard shortcuts or desktop shortcuts?

my experience with kwyboard shortcuts on sway/gnome is that they're implemented differently on a wm-by-wm basis

what's a desktop shortcut?

keyboard shortcuts is what I'm referring to

Keyboard shortcuts? I have only really used Sway but it just kept my i3 shortcuts working; never noticed any change?

a completely different software reimplemented the same shortcuts. This is not the same as having an existing software keep working with the same shortcuts.
