>>70008539 Because it doesn't have a single problem big enough to warrant the effort required to replace it. An X replacement would be even worse than systemd, because systemd at least solves 1 or 2 actual problems.

Legacy is hard to kill. Another example is posix. pure infantile garbage by any reasonable standards in 2019, yet we're still reading and writing some obtuse file descriptor created using some stupid c abi designed syscall layer.

same reason we still use gasoline. a milk jug full can move your 2,000 lb car, you, your wife and her bf 20-25 miles.

I think you mean 25 years ago. And the answer is simple- X Windows works. There's no need for anything else. It's efficient, if you're not a moron it's reliable, and it's standardized. Why fix what isn't too broken? Just because something is old doesn't mean it's bad. If you still think that switch to Haiku.

>>70008959 X has always been a oversized, crufty piece of shit. Any recent improvement has involved having to circumvent the "standard" bullshit. *nix fanboys are just too delusional to admit that they will never take over the desktop.
