This has been my problem too. X is the whipping boy of Linux. HAL, NetworkManager, the toolkits, the ancient SystemV service management, desktop session management, the Linux audio disaster...these are the real problems. But they are scattered and it's hard to put all the blame on just one component. X has some issues, so everyone dogpiles on X, missing the fact that it is only a small part of the issue with Linux on the desktop. If X stayed as it is and those other bits were cleaned up and better integrated, nobody would care that 3d acceleration wasn't quite up to par with Windows, or that the X server occasionally crashed.
