If you haven't had trouble with gnuplot then don't use OpenGL. If
gnuplot plotting has done something you don't like, try the OpenGL
backend. There are of course problems with gnuplot that OpenGL fixes,
and we have outstanding issues with OpenGL not present in gnuplot, but
if you haven't encountered these issues personally, who cares?
Ultimately, only you can know if it's worth it.
