To be honest, I occasionally use some of those old X11 applications (xset, xdpyinfo, xhost, xrefresh, xkill, xgamma). Hardly xcalc! I would rather use 'bc' or one of the matlab clones such as octave.

Nevertheless, most of the new X11 users are now running a desktop like KDE or Gnome and can probably live without ever starting any of those applications.
