You ask "Is it broken?".
I ask "Is there a better way?"
Think about gcc: it was developed in the mid '80s, and at the
time was pretty dang impressive. But over time ... "provisional"
hacks to handle less-common hardware or specific software anomalies
became permanently entrenched (or so I am told) even as hardware
changed, and both compiler technology and coding practices improved.
I think of X the same way.
To the list:
I salute X for doing its job, but I have no brand loyalty. If
something comes along that is some combination of a) more robust, b)
faster, and c) as easy to install/manage I'll switch in a heartbeat.
(Smaller footprint would be nice too.) Is that Wayland? Fact not
(yet) in evidence.
Is Wayland-on-FreeBSD in active development? If so: where -
other than ports@ - do I go to check the /status quo/?
Respectfully,
Robert Huff
