Like Wayland. They want more integration, which is nice, but they stop
half-way. They get the opportunity to integrate even the toolkit into the 
graphic server, which would have been a good reason to make a
conversion, but they didn't.

That imply they will be forcing users to make a conversion, that just
in order to get the same mess with a lot of different toolkits, working
more or less well with each others, with different ways to use the fonts,
which imply different font sizes on the desktop to do the same thing,
and so on.

In 25 years, one guy will try an Amiga from the eighties and say
Wow what amazing! that old piece of hardware do have the toolkit 
integrated into the wm, and is so nice and consistent, and so fast
and so easy to use and make software for.
We must make a new conversion!
