Just a little survey about glut
Author
how many of your guys actually use glut ?
how many prefer to touch win32 ?
- i myself never used glut, i dont feel the need for a wrapper
I use Win32. Glut is an evil that should be let die imo.

I use win32. I have never tried Glut, and probably never will because of some problems I''ve heard of and I don''t want another third party lib.

In my way to learn programming, I created my own glut-like framework.

I mostly only just use GLUT for small tester applications - and that is what it is intended for. GLUT has never been intended for use in full-scale applications. E.g. GLUT is a great way to learn OpenGL without being bogged down with win32 details.

I personally use Win32, but in my opinion, GLUT is pretty cool. The code is very short and the user can instantly make their application cross platform.

I agree with this. I''ve used GLUT to test various tools of mine (Bitmaploader, catmull rom generator) across linux and windows. GLUT makes this a hell of a lot easier
but in the end you probably wanna use win32 or SDL (or something for X)
I use SDL or GLFW.

I use SDL, though I want to try and create a Win32 window manager for my engine. That is, if I can create an interface that only provides functions like OpenWindow, ResizeWindow, SetCaption etc... SDL just makes things so much easier.
