I meant it when I said it's all about freedom.

Everyone should evaluate software based on features, license, etc. and
choose what suits their needs, goals, ideologies best.

I certainly won't try to persuade you of technical advantages that cairo
might have over Evas. Carsten and I have discussed both libraries and
agree that they are more complementary than competing, (not least of
which is that cairo provides an immediate-mode drawing API while Evas
provides a retained-mode canvas interface).

Please choose and use the software you see fit.
