What about a replacement of the Mac-Interface with a version, which uses X and is binary-compatible? Because of the missing X-support, I don't buy a Mac.

Mac OS X 10.3 comes with a built-in X server. It's rootless, so X apps co-exist with native apps. The windows are managed by the OS, so they have proper borders and drop-shadows too. The server itself is easy to manage, just click and go. I was very impressed.

Actually, the built-in X server can be rooted or rootless, your choice.

It also doesn't work very well: poor desktop integration, no menu bar support, all X11 windows get treated as a single group. X11 is simply not a priority to Apple.

And, yes, replacing Quartz with X11 would be a good thing.
