Sad ?

I'm not sad, I'm just real... By using an X11 server, you remove all the advantages you may find in OS4 (being: small memory requirements, speed,...). Not to mention that most X11 programs won't run well (or at all) without SWAP, something OS4 does not offer.

What's sad though, is that people don't get real about that...

Of course X11 is not the final solution for everything, but a first step to get up to date software.
And the X server is not completely an alien. He uses a lot of features of the AmigaOS.
