You're a little way off being a Wayland convert just yet... but libinput *has* already been a valuable spinoff from the Wayland effort, something that could be used by Xorg as well. But as Armin said, Wayland itself isn't just a new version of X11 - it's a replacement for it, a new design taking into account modern hardware and software and usage patterns, rather than being an evolution of something built decades ago for black and white thin-client displays. Of course, if you've been using Linux for a long time, you'll be aware that there have been many such projects which have achieved nothing. But Wayland is exceptional in that it has serious backing - from distros, and from upstream toolkit and desktop projects. The last Fedora release included a mostly-functional preview of Gnome-on-Wayland, and will be looking to make that the default in the next year or so. Other distros, and other desktop projects are working towards the same goal.
