Ok, but even going by that, the "problem" is that the X11 code needs work, nothing else. The "solution" is to put in 100x as much work to replace it.
Amusing as your description is, I don't think that even amounts to "fix 20% of the problems".
(Apparently I'm nowhere near finished with ranting.)

Yes. Yes indeed.

@dougmerritt@mathstodon.xyz @lproven@social.vivaldi.net @AmenZwa@mathstodon.xyz @synlogic4242@social.vivaldi.net Is there any point in building "X12” when GTK and At are just going to force it to be a pixel-schlepper, anyway? 😒 It sucks having primitives/drawing routines bifurcated like that.
