It's an age old Linux tradition. We argue about window managers, init systems, sound systems, and anything else we can. Often it's because people have built a hacked together system based on what used to work for them. Relevant XKCD
Hahaha that damn spacebar heating in KDE 4.2 was really lit
And it's fine when it's about a roughly equal choice. But Wayland is vastly superior in support and X11 vastly superior in functionality, so I don't get this argument.
If I could find a compositor for Wayland (and a simple terminal emulator like urxvt, no opengl for acceleration please) as easy and quick to set up as cwm for X11 (with something like dzen2) or fvwm - the issue wouldn't exist for me personally.
