Xi, the backend that it's built on, is unfortunately in maintenance mode and it seems like it has been for a while now.

According to readme it's not a Xi frontend, but rather it uses same algorithms for string manipulations

Druid is also in a poor state at the moment (it pulls master from git) and it's not using wgpu at all. I assume it used to use a piet wgpu branch but it is not anymore.

It uses a heavily forked version of Druid. https://github.com/lapce/druid which replaces the window management to use winit instead https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit

and a self-written wgpu backend hooked with druid. https://github.com/lapce/piet-wgpu

For xi, it only uses it for text manipulation.

Do you mean lapce pulls Druid from Git and isn't using wgpu right now, or do you mean Druid itself? I'm afraid I can't quite parse your comment.
