"Over time, many people have complained about the X Window system; the X Window system, or Xorg in its current most popular implementation, is the layer between applications and the graphics adapter. It has some fantastic features (like the ability to run application over the network) and some shortcoming.
One thing is sure: it has evolved over the last year or so, immensely, especially as far as 3D and hardware acceleration."

I never understood why Unix standardized on X, but not on any specific kernel, C library, window manager, or desktop environment.
