why do you need to have a sprite on a SDL surface and why plain Athens
is not good enough. Athens is an API not an implementation.
It is like sparta: an API and you do not care about the library below.
OSWindow is a layer on top of SDL and it is better than SDL directly
to my understanding.
So you should get Athens and SDL for event.
What kind of game are you targeting? Did you look at Bloc? Because to
me this is the way to go except if you want just a canvas
and reimplement your event loop. in that case SDL + Athens should work.

I found the mix of OSWindow+SDL+Athens very complex (tens of classes with
hundreds of methods) and to produce code hard to understand (I look at your
spider code).
I will prefer fewer functionnality I can understand.
For example, how can you copy a sprite on a SDL surface? Can you do it
without Athens surface?

Whichever if Cairo stays around or not does not really matter, normally
one uses Cairo through Athens or Sparta, abstraction layers on top of 2D
graphic engines. I've worked with other 2D engines and the API are always
almost the same, so I have no doubt that if Cairo support is dropped we can
re-bind Athens/Sparta with another 2D engine (such as engines used by web
browsers).
