I think X was kind of like this, yeah - in the eighties and early nineties; it's got its own chapter in the Unix Haters Handbook. There's been an incredible amount of work done to fix/work around its problems, and some of them - like security - turned up to be not practically fixable at all. Rewriting it into a properly minimalist design 20 years ago, like Apple did, instead of just now, would save everyone a lot of time. And this time it's orders of magnitude worse.
