True, but I am still not convinced of the wisdom of having three different drawing APIs. At least vector exports use the same code path regardless of the OS. You don't end up in a situation where it works on *nix* but not on MS or vice-versa. Same can be said about rendering.
It would be *exactly* the same situation... for plotting we have (last time I worked on them) a gerber printer, an DXF printer, an HPGL printer and a postscript printer. You could actually plot the schematic to gerber if you wanted to, simply adding a 'new' call to instantiate it. As I get it, he done something similar to the display code path...
