Tldr: No need to switch yet.

I admire the endurance of the wayland devs though.

Edit: added tldr

If you're using KDE, the improvement will be amazing.

Would never switch back

I do. What's the difference?

Smoother? Can you give a specific example?

Try dragging windows on x, then try on wayland. It's a very clear difference.
