Reply to comment by DissidentRage in GNOME Shell 4 Proposal to Focus on Wayland by josefStallman

Currently, not very much. GNOME runs wayland by default, but it's the only major DE that does so. However, most DE's are working on wayland support. XFCE4 is currently being ported to GTK3 to allow for eventual Wayland support, Plasma sort of works but requires quite a bit of configuration to be useful, Budgie is moving back to Wayland, and that appears to be the general trend.

Give it another year and I'll bet wayland will be more prevalent than Xorg for mainstream desktop use.

I looked into it a bit myself, and it looks like there's some resistance in the MATE and CInnamon projects to moving toward it, which is disappointing as I rather like Cinnamon.
