While I am not using cario I am hovering on the list because almost all
of my work is writing 

code for drawing Raster and Vector map's as fast as possible on X11
targets.

 

In my line of work 8,16 and 24 bit display depths are very common. 32
bit depth's are the least common :>>

 

A lot of old hardware is out in the world, even SUN is shipping quite
old graphics cards with their

new kit and the embedded environment (both PDA [eg. Sharp Zaurus] and
VME based kit) tend 

to use old graphics chips with limited memory, meaning that you are
lucky to get 24bit depth.
