They made cool stuff but with a complete disregard for a lot of what the rest of the industry has been up to and as a result have and are trying to reinvent wheels they are under-qualified to reinvent. The display server is dope but they don't need to be trying to design a new paradigm of distributed compute in their networking layer, they got beat to that faster and better by other products.



The "rest of the industry"? The "Unix Desktop" industry? That one? The one that's still claiming that Wayland's deficiencies are due to it being a work in progress? The one that still can't synchronize on a single universally supported GUI library that's available by default on every system? He's not qualified to offer alternatives to _that_?

What sort of model glue should he begin sniffing in order to more effectively engage with this "industry"?
