The X.Org Server Is Abandonware?

Those that actually use the outdated X vector graphics operations look like utter garbage compared to anything post-1995. Frankly, I'd rather my applications are at least somewhat aesthetically pleasing.

That is entirely subjective no? Personally I think Motif is one of the pinnacles of GUI design.

I also agree, and even if I did think that the modern stuff with the impossible to see borders and the buttons that you can't tell were up and down looked better (I don't), I'd still prefer smooth remote operation.

Alas. That isn't the way the world has went, and it's extremely expensive to be weird.

Aesthetics is always subjective, but it's safe to say that most people today would find Motif to be rather ugly.
