You're still beliebing in hearsay? It's not about eye candy, it's about
portability, versatility, accessability and speed. Also if you're a fan
of scalable fonts instead of fixed fonts (don't know about you but I
really detest that fixed font configuration hell) or live in a country
with more than 255 glyphs or...

Don't know what your point is but serious persons only use a fb for
embedded devices or fun. Also the majority of users out there would be
lost without an overlay userinterface on a settopbox which sports only
slightly more features than a VCR, which was exactly what directfb was
developped for, BTW.

Sure, about as much as mplayer is faster than xine or libmpeg2 is faster
in MPEG2 playback than ffmpeg on every architecture...
