Your wrong. libgdiplus does has no dependency on cairo since it bundle
its own copy and none on pango*. 

        * don't confuse the UNSUPPORTED _options_ in libgdiplus about
        using the system cairo and pango as dependencies.

Other dependencies are optional (for the image codecs: PNG, JPEG, GIF,
TIFF and EXIF) but without them a lot of winforms apps won't work.

In this I agree. If you don't target Windows you'll get nicer
results (and a nice UI designer) using Gtk#.
