Unix Hater's Handbook focuses on a handful of specific, not to mention positively ancient, proprietary implementations of X. (See for instance the bit where libX is being statically linked. Hurr.) For better critique, you're gonna have to search somewhere else.

Most of the problems described there still persist, not to mention X's ugly architecture (which slowly gets better, they've moved the font directory, yay!) and 500 header files that I need to read to achieve anything as simple as customizing my Xkb's keymap. Also, different grammar for every fucking configuration file.

At least the configuration is text-based, unlike the registry in win32. User interfaces aren't simple, and something with scope like X is doubly complex.
That said, I'm really looking forward to the day when XCB finally becomes the de facto low-level client interface to the X protocol. Xlib, holy fuck that's horrible like some "hay guys I just lerned C 2 months ago"'s code that's got home-grown conventions all over. (#define nil NULL)

Give him a break. It's just his way to say ``I've read SICP.''

Hay, this shit looks and tastes like shit, but at least it doesn't smell. Also, some guy down the street is slowly removing the half-digested corn from it.

Perhaps it would mean that, today. Way back when it was usually more like "hay guys I took 2 courses of Pascal in high school".

Why bother with compatibility anyway? Why don't throw it all out and start from scratch (or take NitPicker, Rio or whatever the fuck else which can be decently ported to Linux)?
