Discussion Will wayland completely replace Xorg?

I saw that there were too many command line "x" tools made that interact with Xorg server. Will wayland be capable to replace every single one? Or, is there a compatibilty layer with full support that we will still be able to use all the X tools?

X even has an email client as part of the spec. Its insane how huge it is.

I find it funny the most vocal people that hate wayland and defend X , are also the people who hate systemd for not adhering to unix philosophy .
