it's interesting the use the phrase "creative coding" but make no reference to openframeworks, which is essentially the competition and also uses that phrase http://www.openframeworks.cc/
No offence to the OF project intended, but if nothing else the Cinder code appears to be a lot cleaner. I don't like the way OF wraps GL functions for a start.
At a first gander it looks like Cinder lets doesn't baby you as much, and really provides a "consistent way to do this kind of C++" as much as the library functions themselves.

That's my first impression anyway.
