@norayr, reading that was so weird. It was like I'd written that.

But better researched.

I use X11 still, mainly because I just encounter less jank on it.

I concur with other commenters that the fact X11 was designed for networked use is better. It's cool to be able to run an app externally and just have it integrate directly with the host environment.
