Yes. The goal is to auto detect everything and only use the
configuration file for user specific customizations

It wouldn't be even better if no configuration tools were required.
Hmm. It's a fine goal, but until computers are intelligent and
telepathic it can't happen.
Having both a (complete!) text config file and a robust config tool is a
very valuable feature, allowing for unforseen configurations and a
simple fallback when the config tool fails. I feel strongly that it
would be a Bad Thing if xorg.conf (or some kind of text config) is
deprecated.
It saved my install once I got past the problems.
