NeWS was a technologically better system than X11 (for exactly the 
reasons mentioned above).  It's a pity X11 won.

The idea of NeWS was you push the low-level U/I interaction and 
rendering into the display side.  Better responsiveness, less network 
bandwidth consumed.  Sort of the same thing that's going on with 
javascript apps replacing server side generated HTML these days.

Come to think of it, it's the same idea as IBM-3270 display terminals, 
40 years ago :-)
