Amiga Intuition was a separate process from the client, so even if the client fell over the window could still be managed. In 1985. On a 7 Mhz processor!

The same is true for the Wayland compositor.
With X11 you currently have 3 processes:
1. X server
In Wayland you do away with the X server process. All it's duties unrelated to network communications (screen management, input handling) are incorporated into the compositor/window manager.
So, it will in fact look a lot more like Amiga's Intuition than current X does.
