There's one thing that SDL does marvelously well - it's just one fairly

The fact that we have cocoa support in the tree is basically an admission of
failure with SDL.
I don't think so, the way i see it: someone had an itch (i.e. an
application that does not integrate well with his windowing environment)
and he scratched it.
SDL doesn't integrate well into a modern Gnome desktop either. I don't
see why we have Cocoa and not Gtk. If the answer is, someone needs to
send patches, expect patches soon :-)
So with this argument, we'll not only get a GTK backend, but Qt and
Windows backends, too? But then you can't reasonably say any more that
DirectFB would be too much additional code to maintain.
