If you are doing 2d you can also do quite well with just the SDL2 wrapper. That gives you enough to do cross platform sound, input, and putting textures on the screen with alpha blending and bilinear interp. So its enough to make mario/ultima/baldurs gate/ style things.

Personally I find SDL far too limiting. As soon as you want to write even one shader you have to write all of the graphics code yourself, and at that point it's hardly better than GLFW.
