cairo+_glitz require X. evas does not. not to mention evas's software rendering
outstrips xrenders performance substantially (since most operations will involve
a scale of some sort and xrender's scaling is about 30-50 times slower than
evas/imlib2 - you go figure).
also evas work on ANY xserver. it can also use opengl ala glitz. evas will work
on xfree86, x.org, sun's xservers, xfree86 3.3, and a host of servers
irrespectively. also it is the api we use. we're not going to change to cairo.
for performance any many other reasons. now i DON'T rule out anyone contributing
a cairo rendering engine for evas (though i'd really say - just use xrender
directly), but as i said above. i have not done this as my performance tests
showed xrender to not be a viable target to write an engine for at this stage.
for those that have forgotten/don't know the performance benchmarker is here:

the day xrender gets CLOSE to imlib2 in all those speed tests, let me know. i
will write an xrender engine. until then i'm not going to even try.
