End users don't care about implementation. As far a I am concerened X is great. The problem is X configuration and trouble shooting needs massive help.
Once X is running it is great and works so much better than direct rendering. It out performs VNC and with all these terminal server poping up. X is at the core of every one of them.
What really needs to be ditched is the need for hand-editing of the config file. If X doesn't start, it needs to take you into a VGA-compatible graphical troubleshooter. And what the fuck is a modeline? I've been working with computers for years, and I still don't understand them. They need to be removed from the config file.
Most of my problems come from poor drivers/lack of drivers.
