Those who believe Xlib is pure and raw should realize that it provides a
wrapper around the X protocol, as well. There is some code in this layer,
however thin. People who are really interested in low-level coding should
write their own protocol-handlers.

But, just as this is obviously gobs of work for little return, so is using
Xlib for applications with complex user interfaces. There are higher-level
libraries which provide better solutions. Find the right level.
