IIRC there are some cases of text editors implemented on top of a
canvas. IIRC Tk's text widget, which is the basis for several text
editors, is one of them. I've not observed performance issues when used
those editors, although Emacs' requirements can be more demanding.

The problem with Cairo is that AFAIK it doesn't provide any kind of user
interaction features and adding them is far from trivial. Maybe Gecko
provides the necessary for web forms and clickable areas, but that is
not enough. Qt's Graphics Framework seems more appealing as an starting
point.
