You're not going to sell the world on open source, if the open source version of something (in this case, windowing models and GUI's) is crap.

X is crap. It does things inefficiently, it has disorganized programming models, X GUI's are pretty hollow when it comes to infrastructure, etc.

Invent an open source windowing model that isn't crap, and then we'll talk.
