I completely agree. This feels like the typical “open-source developers rewriting something that already works well, then forcing it on people who never asked for it” kind of project.

It will take years to reach the feature set of X11. And for what? From my perspective as both a developer and a user, I see no tangible benefits.

On top of that, it breaks software I rely on professionally. Code that worked perfectly fine under X11.

Meanwhile, I can still build and run Windows programs I wrote 30 years ago on Windows 11.
