Why OS X just doesn't cut it

Same here: X is annoying for reasons hard for me to articulate, and the analogous part of OS X is significantly less annoying.

If Canonical completes their plan to replace X with Wayland in Ubuntu, I will give Ubuntu another try.

ADDED. I ran Linux for 13 years.

None of the problems he listed are caused by X, they're caused by various decisions in GTK+, Gnome, and Synaptic. Moving to Wayland won't fix any of those things.

It will get you slightly faster compositing, though.

It might be possible to fix these things without changing X, but I get the impression that it is harder to write an app that does not annoy me in X than in OS X.
