[Gambas-user] wayland and screen

That I don't understand at all. It is simply canceling UNIX for me. Main 
benefit of using UNIX for me always was that I can display a window of a 
program on any machine I want. Windows has it with Seamless RDP, FreeBSD 
and Linux has it with X. It's a must, it's a killer feature. And now 
this Wayland makes a step back in UNIX development.

I'm in awe too. Why. Just why. How does one consider replacing stable 
and feature-rich component of OS that takes itself seriously with a beta 
product openly unintendeing to be even close to features the current 
component has. That I also don't understand at all.
