If you read "The X Windows Disaster" chapter of "The Unix Hater's Handbook," that's the whole story. Design by committee is never a good idea, but to its credit, X has finally managed to batter itself into usable software. X is so big no one has their arms completely around it, for example there's more code in X than there is in the Linux kernel.

Just for funzies, I'll post this link again to Don Hopkins' "X Windows Disaster" chapter from the Unix Haters Handbook, a very entertaining read:
