Red Hat Expecting X.org to “Go into Hard Maintenance Mode Fairly Quickly”

Because when attacking your parent poster, you neglected to explain your argument, and the reasons why you believe most people dislike Electron, and why X11 doesn't get the same scorn, which caused you to be downvoted.

Care to elaborate, please?

Do you know if X11, like Electron, supports shared memory textures in the GPU like IOSurface and GL_TEXTURE_EXTERNAL_OES are for?

I can't force someone to understand something that they do not want to. More than enough people have written, much more eloquently than I, about why electron is bad. None of the critiques I've seen are 'because it relies on an expensive network system'.

EDIT: Hell, even if we assume that the critiques are about "expensive networked system"s, Electron is still incomparable to Xorg so the root-parent's post is making a false comparison.
