xbanish, xcape, xdotool, find-cursor, xclip, dmenu, my somewhat specific hacked-up version of dwm, various specific configurations in X.

Some of these have alternatives that work the way I want, some don't. In either case I will have to spend time replicating the environment I've been happy with for many years by finding and configuring existing tools or by writing my own, all for no concrete benefit.

Eventually I'll have to bite the bullet I suppose, but Xorg works well today and I expect it will continue to work well for quite a few more years. As long as it's not needed, I'd rather spend my time elsewhere.

Some of those indeed have alternatives already, but okay it seems you're already aware of them.
