Over the past couple of months, and especially over the past couple of weeks, I've been working very hard to write and complete my thesis. I performed all the work on Windows 7, but now that the thesis is finally done, submitted, and accepted, I installed Ubuntu - and immediately I was reminded of why I do not do any serious work on Linux: the train wreck that is X.org.

Well I agree that development isn't in the best of places right now, mainly due to lack of manpower. Working on X probably isn't the most glamorous thing (although I find it quite interesting, albeit beyond my abilities to handle at this time) and they really don't have much in the way of documentation for developers. All of those neat features *could* work if the time and effort were put into making them working and working with the toolkit devs to tie it all together. And to the credit of the devs, this does happen for some of the more important features and driver issues. But so much more could be done and it's sad that it isn't being done and likely won't be done.
