While network transparency is great, it's top heavy and complex API and
implemention do not help linux gain any ground on the wider desktop market
at all.   Steve Jobs may be a tyrant but he understands technology like no
one, that's why he dumped X and went with his own graphical system on top of
BSD for OSX.  I think in order for Linux to grow into the wider desktop
market a new graphics UI not based on X is needed, I have always felt this
way.
