I ran systems at a facility that had a number of Vaxstations using VMS

SunView. These were both windowing systems without access to remote
windows on other systems, and without X behind them.  Instead they used
proprietary ystems calls for window displays, and people liked the UIs.

DEC were one of the prime sponsors of the initial development of X11. Not
too surprising they were so quick to abandon their own proprietary product
in favour of an X Windows-based one (which they did call “DEC Windows”).

Talking of Sun, did you ever have anybody use NeWS?
