If you're curious where X-Plane is headed, here's an analysis and summary of the presentations given by Laminar's presenters at the FlightSim expo.

As much as I am disappointed by some of XP's features after about a year of usage, the (surprising) inclusion of expanded default system functionality* in a mere secondary level update (the last big one was 11.30) makes me hope that the other widely known deficiencies will be improved as well. The port to Vulkan doesn't excite me that much, especially regarding potential issues with plugin compaitiblity.
All in all, I haven't regretted the move so far. I love XP's multiplatform compatibility (Windows/Linux/Mac), excellent portability and extendability (requiring less effort than MSFS).
*Those features would require hundreds of lines of custom code when implemented into FSX. I'm pretty sure it isn't that much different for P3D.
