I suggest you do some googling about the current ambitions and efforts of the Xorg folks. The Renaissance of X11 is quite grounded. Keith Packard and others have shown that poor implementation was the primary problem, it had nothing to do with the X11 protocol at all.
The new efforts seem primary interested in re-architecting xorg with modern rendering extensions, proper integration points for specialized hardware, creating new API's that lend themselves to better performance and quality, and separating X11 code from kernel-space code to increase stability.
