Well, I _did_ try to use a MacBook as a laptop at work

So long as you have something that works for you, good.
I must say, though, that most of the old-time Linux users that I know
-- the determined hardcore who were using it in the 1990s, who've been
on it for a decade or more -- have almost *all* switched to Mac OS X
now.
But Android solves a different problem: a mobile
phone/tablet OS, not
a workstation OS.
Sure.
But this shows that the approach of getting rid of X.11 is not limited
to a single niche.
