Give me a compositor with at least some of the capabilities of Awesome, AND the ability to apply custom shaders to windows like picom does, and some none alpha-quality VNC solutions, then I make seriously consider a permanent move.

So it's going to be X11 for at least 2-3 years to come for me. And this is based purely on practical and workflow reasoning. It's is also a logical, technical, and fully informed choice, unlike the entirety of your comment.
