I think it takes up too much screen real estate, and doesn't add anything to the view.

Ah yes, the ever growing and maintained X11 window system.

The future of security and standardization, with the mostly used feature of transmitting GUI assets over a network.

And to top it all off - the most documented code project, with the users facing easy customization options, that requires almost no programming language knowledge - and the easily compatible feature matrix, with allways up to date patch files.

    I honestly know nothing about X11 but this reads like sarcasm to me, is it?

    Extreme sarcasm. The Free Desktop organization essentially stopped all development of their old GUI solution for Linux - named X11 Window System, and went all in on developing Wayland, the successor.

    Plus, speaking as a former DWM and suckless tools user, it is elitist, and thinks way too highly of themselves - they think their code explains itself (which it doesn't), features are easy to add (nope), and a readable config file is bloat (it isn't).
