In fairness, Cairo generates decent PDF; I guess you'd exchange that if
it's just about reading. There are times when I've generated diagrams,
etc. illustrating data structures from algorithms I was describing,
directly from the actual code that uses the algorithms, where I chose to
have it produce PostScript directly but Cairo would absolutely have been
a viable alternative in that kind of case.
