Advantages:

  • Proven thread-safety.
  • Much easier to build.
  • More portable.
  • Asynchronous API, so no need to do threading ourselves (less room for breaking thread safety).
  • More stuff that's less relevant to us, but still: https://xcb.freedesktop.org/Features/

I'm struggling a bit with xlib, so I'd rather ignore xlib and move to xcb.
