I am not an X window programmer (don't even know C), but my impression is that X has quite a few design warts that many people would love to get rid of. And you cannot really blame X for that, it's more than 25 years old and was designed at a time where GUIs were still quite uncommon. I cannot judge whether Wayland is in any way better, though. > And that is one of the reasons I always fear "business decisions" (we > should not forget that Canonical is the company behind Ubuntu) because > "business decisions" can be founded on market/marketing issues and not > technicalities and the latter are the only ones that should lead to these > kind of changes. As a Debian user, you shouldn't forget political reasons as an important impetus for change. ;-) J. -- I am getting worse rather than better.
