Cairo is hardly cross-platform. grep for `USE_BE_CAIRO' in
src/haiku_support.cc and you will see how much of a mess using it
anywhere other than a platform they explictly support is.
GDK only supports X and Wayland well: everywhere else, your mileage will
vary a lot. Its support for macOS is particularly bad.

It doesn't run on Haiku at all.

First you will have to fix the amazing attitude of the GTK+ developers
when it comes to fixing bugs from programs that don't fit within their
narrow worldview, such as programs that need to control the size of
their scroll bar thumbs, or programs that want to open windows on
multiple displays at once.
There is really no good "cross-platform toolkit" that suits our
purposes.
