Give me a compositor with at least some of the capabilities of Awesome, AND the ability to apply custom shaders to windows like picom does, and some none alpha-quality VNC solutions, then I make seriously consider a permanent move.
So it’s going to be X11 for at least 2-3 years to come for me. And this is based purely on practical and workflow reasoning. It’s is also a logical, technical, and fully informed choice, unlike the entirety of your comment.

The one from KDE.
And before you call me uninformed, please explain to me why per-window custom shaders are a necessity (i.e. overwhelmingly useful and irreplacable) for anyone. And furthermore, what anything you said has to do with me questioning the necessity of not maintaining, but reimplementing X.
I never said anything about Awesome or any X WM, I didn’t even say anything about people sticking with an X environment. I commented on a post about a new X implementation, because I wondered why people go out of their way to keep X around, after its own maintainers declared it abandonware.
