It's a big mistake to think that way. If you can't come up with a compelling reason for users to upgrade, it's a lot harder to get the install base large enough where developers can confidently switch over.
- jiggy2011 12y agoUsers will switch over when their distro starts using it by default, the same as they would for a new version of the kernel , a new init system or any other lower level software. The fact is that the design of X is archaic and not well designed for the needs of the modern era. The benefit to end users is that rich multimedia software becomes much easier to develop for Linux so they get more of it.
