Well, that depends on your point of view ;->

OpenGL is very portable, handles 2D just as nicely as 3D, and tends to be
the best supported high performance graphics API on many platforms. Also,
it's very convenient to work with (IMHO).

You don't need a 3D card to run OpenGL. Mesa works fine in software, for
example.
As for Hermes: We've got abstraction, and I'd suggest that we remain
abstract for the graphics API rewrite, so anybody can write a gfx driver
for whatever library he/she wants.
