Unless you need to get any real work done - like non western font
rendering, accessibility (to make your app meet legal requirements in
parts of the world etc)

I'm also not sure why you'd want to use Xlib nowdays. I mean Xlib has a
serial non-threaded model without callbacks that causes apps to block
on queries - problems you won't have if you hand code the X11 message
parser yourself in optimised assembler ;)

(or use Xcb if you aren't quite so serious)
