There is essentially no overhead in using osgViewer vs SceneView. As you'll see from the osgviewerSDL and osgviewerGLUT examples it's actually very straight forward to use. Another key benefit of using osgViewer over SceneView is that it means that you can move between using GraphicsWIndowEmbedded style app to one using the inbuilt GraphicsWindow functionality or GraphicsWindow window inheritance, you aren't locked into one style of viewer usage. Finally osgViewer usage is far more supportable by others in the community. Using SceneView directly means that you can use and abuse it in ways that we can't second guess. What makes it harder for us to support is a loss all round, both for you as you won't get the same quality of support as you'll get using mainstream classes, and for those attempting to support you as they just be wasting time trying to help you do stuff that osgViewer already solves.
