I object strongly to this perception that nobody involved in developing desktop technologies has any idea what server admins want. What we're seeing is the development of technologies that bear little resemblance to the Unix way of doing things, but which will in many cases make life better for server admins. systemd is a wonderful example, and Wayland has the potential to be used in such a way that it will work much better for what you want than X currently does.
I can agree with that.
I'd like for something in return - could the folks working on desktop technologies acknowledge that those of us who are more server-oriented have an idea of what users want?
B/c the perception I get is that only the desktop-oriented folks know what users want or need and the server-oriented folks do not.
I think that's in error, too.
