I agree too. There is always something that is broken in Xorg, or has changed so that old things don't work, or whatnot. It really is irritating. After 6.9 rolled into history, I've increasingly yearned for XFree. At least it was one thing I did not have to worry about, as it never failed me. At least once I got a .conf that did what I wanted it to.
The sad thing is that most of the rest of our user software, at least the desktop flavors, relies on Linux software too. In my experience those ports are not much different than what we have said about xorg.
The server-side stuff is different.
