If the answer is ‘don’t adopt Cairo for new projects’ there is a problem, since Skia has poor documentation and a not stable api.

And so if the answer is always ‘it depends’, you are making my point for me.

In Cairo specific case it is 'don't adopt Cairo for new projects'.

Others may have specific reason, why they are still using it (like the Gtk example). Your new project doesn't.

If Cairo is not to be adopted, then Linux doesn’t have a good option right now.

In the previous comments, I've pointed an alternative several times, including what other applications use. So yes, Linux does have good option right now.
