@eris @icedquinn @paula8 i definitely looked forward to it as a user because it fixes so many basic things that just do not work properly with xorg. like vsync, especially with more than one display at a time, without adding 1-3 frames of latency and, depending on the DDX, a flickering software cursor—xorg simply cannot do that, and it has horrible input lag to begin with due to how much overhead X11 has with modern applications. same with display rotation and scaling. variable refresh rates also do not work. or hotplugging/switching displays without half your desktop having a stroke. or having even slightly unusual display layouts (like a rotated 96 dpi monitor to the left of two vertically stacked 144 dpi monitors) without everything but Qt getting confused and only handling mouse events or rendering at all on a small part of the screen.

x11 is just not good enough for me
