Is this the same Jonathan Blow who said "Braid physically cannot be ported to Linux, the sound APIs simply can't handle it"? :P (Braid was later ported to Linux by a third party and runs fine, IIRC)
Regardless, the answer is "everything is simple when you imagine a single use-case", which as far as I know is what he is doing. I would suggest that people with experience building multi-use-case display servers would know best, those building single-use-case display servers second best, and everybody else is essentially working on guesswork and imagination.
That said, if he wants to go ahead and prove us all wrong by writing a small, elegant display server which fulfils everybody's needs without compromise, I wish him luck and can't wait to start using it :)
