> It's not 1990 anymore. The concept of X over the network is no longer as strange as you would like to pretend. The inclusion of a bad implementation of this idea in MacOS is ample demonstration of this. The network GUI concept is fairly commonplace in the corporate Windows world. If anything, people should be improving these features in Linux rather than trying to abandon them.
Nobody is trying to abandon anything. The X.org server will still run on Wayland, and if application or toolkit developers choose to abandon support for X11, you should blame them and not the Wayland developers. OTOH, Wayland is what finally gives us a chance to invent a new remote rendering protocol that, unlike X11, doesn't suck for modern applications.
