For some things it is transparent, for some there are likely reasonable analogues, but then their are all the things that exist in only one or 2 of the three "windowing systems" (yes I know it is not a truly correct term).
Having built environments that run on multiple Window Managers or even multiple OSs you typically go down one of three paths:
1) supply your own (ie build you own utilities so they behave the same)
2) build to the lowest common denominator and only use common functionality
3) write multiple that offer similar but not identical functionality, may have unique/extra functionality in some
I am not sure if it is reasonable to expect RPL to build a toolset that makes them all play nicely together, especially since folks may decide to install extra packages and applications that may only support one of the three, or even add a different Window Manager all together. Personally, I don't think it was worth the effort to make a wayfire based system "look" like the old X11/LXDE system, but I can understand that arguments could be made for that and Simon came fairly close.
