I think it's quite ironic that everybody nowadays complains about Wayland and the "good old days" of X. Back in the day, everybody and their dog complained about X being "archaic", "slow", "takes 20 operations to draw a line", etc. XComposite and XRender were just hacks. Everybody hated on X and anything else was considered better.

On a tangent, also very ironic that X (the successor of Twitter) has the exact same logo as X (the window system). It's like Elon Musk just Googled for the first X logo that came along and appropriated that and nobody seems to notice or care.
