EXA does not even provide the infrastructure to accelerate gradients or trapezoids at the moment. They weren't used much previously because very few drivers (if any) implemented acceleration for them; hence they weren't tested much outside of sw rendering. Software rendering works because it's the reference implementation; that's how the features like gradients were added in the first place. Glamor has the infrastructure to support gradients and trapezoids already which is another reason it is attractive.
