My biggest problem with your argument is that you haven't presented any reason to get rid of X whatsoever. You've pointed out that somewhere in X.org or supporting drivers there are issues, but that's not a problem with X11.

If you were to say "we need to write a new X server from scratch" I would be somewhat with you, at least your point supports that. And if you were to say "X.org needs more bug fixing and better drivers" I'd wholeheartedly agree.

But throwing out X11 alltogether is just... stupid, at least for the reasons you mentioned.

Most people don't know there's a difference between X.org (the implementation) and X11 (the protocol). I guess that's why people conclude that "X" sucks and must be replaced.

Wow, if I had a job, and wasn't relatively firmly tied to the east bay I'd totally go for that place... I'd probably be the least productive hacker there by a long shot, but if being in a house full of productive coders can't motivate me I might as well off myself haha.
