What advantages OpenGL supposed to have over SDL2?
The acceleration provided by libsdl2, as I understand it, does not help considering the way we are drawing things. The main way how libsdl2 can provide better/faster rendering is by using an opengl render path. Mordante should be able to provide more information about this since he already had a look at some basic libsdl2 stuff. Yes, there are concerns about it working nicely on slower systems, but if we e.g. go the way of using GLES 2.0 it should be possible to support a huge number of devices, even those relying on open source drivers and got rather ancient hardware.
