If there is anything Maemo was to be shot for, is that it continued to support the horrible disaster which is the X Windows System. That horrible, horrible excuse for a graphic system should be taken out and shot, the sooner the better (and no, I'm not bitter. Just a little bit tangy, perhaps.)

- tobiasu 15y agoYes, I'm sure the ancient UNIX haters handbook is totally relevant to the shortcomings of X11 at the end of 2011.

- mbq 15y agoYup, it is horrible and has some serious design flaws. But it can deal with low-level graphics, an in general hopeless and horrible activity based on numerous quirks and hacks -- and this makes a value overcoming most of its problems. Not to mention that there is a wide X ecosystem of libs, apps and know-how that is effectively smoothing its shortcomings.
