Libinput Looks To Dominate On Both X11 & Wayland

No, nothing special about the Gnome 3 cloud background on F21 or the dark menu theme. It's a crisper and more responsive GUI interaction. Nearly all simple desktop tasks are more responsive than their Windows counterparts. No lag. Colors are more crisp than on a Windows system or a Macbook.

That is just how your imagination perceive things.

Both Windows and OS X have way superior display servers than X.Org.
X.Org is one big stack of hacks on top of other hacks to get a semi-modern desktop built-around the legacy X11 protocol and all of its limitations and deficits.

All the widget toolkits for X are built upon the legacy xlib (not the more modern asynchronous XCB library), so operations are synchronous and the X11 protocol causes lots of overhead.

Windows and OS X animations are very smooth and their colors are just as crisp as the ones of X.Org Server.
The Windows and OS X display servers are superior to X.Org, so its nice to see Wayland now bring a modern display server to Linux.

Whatever your opinion on lag, X11 cannot and will not have any impact whatsoever on whether your colors are "crisp".

Funny thought - if X11 is so ancient and useless - why does Fedora 21's Gnome 3 on my laptop look so much sharper and appealing than Win 7 or Win 8.1?

For the same reason people report all their aches and pains going away after taking a sugar pill.
