"it comes at a cost which is expounded on by the article."
I would appreciate it if you could quote the article where it expounds on the cost.
I've read through it a few times, and could only find two very brief, vague, handwavy complaints against X:
1 - "the code happens to implement an unfortunate specification"
2 - "You can only apply so much thrust to the pig before you question why you're trying to make it fly at all."
As an end-user, I don't find these to be particularly convincing.
Moreover, X works for me now and does everything I need.
- cycloptic 6y agoThose are all quotes that are referring to it, as well as this one: >But using it to drive your display hardware and multiplex your input devices is choosing to make your life worse. If X continues to work for you and you don't find it makes your life worse, then... keep using it?

Someone makes pig fly all these years.
