You can use them in OpenGL, just not in OpenGL ES: :o) Seriously though... given any four points there is no guarantee that they are co-planar, and I believe that no-coplanar quads introduce all sorts of complexities when interpolating colours, textures, and even positions in 3D space. By using triangles that whole problem goes away. In general triangles adds a 50% overhead in the vertices (or vertex indices) that you need to pass to the engine, but if you are using triangle strips there is no such overhead.
