Which does the COMMUNITY PREFER? I want to KNOW. Thank YOU.
C++/SFML, personally
But mostly because i like the flexibility and control which comes with C++. I don't particularly like SFML, i tolerate it as a necessary evil to get things done
hey what are some alternatives for use with c++? im pretty interested in what there is to work with in terms of graphics libraries
Depends what your looking at but if you mean ones with the same kind of features as SFML then I think its mainly either SFML or SDL
If you mean just windowing library then theres glut, freeglut, GLFW...

OpenGL, Direct3D, SDL, and Allegro are popular alternatives.
Lua and LOVE for small/prototyped projects, C++ and your choice of graphics renderer and other libs or a media library for greater controlled projects.
I'd recommend using SDL/C++ or Lua/Love over SFML.

Uh, why?
SFML is superior to SDL in pretty much every way.

I'm personally having more issues on Windows than on Linux with SFML.
I BELIEVE LUA IS GOOD.
ALSO GENERALLY SPEAKING, WHICH API POSSESS A LARGER COLLECTION OF COMMERCIAL GAMES? NOT THAT IT SHOULD SERVE AS AN INDICATION FOR BEING SUPERIOR, JUST A QUESTION....

SDL has been around longer, so that should have more games.
You could always use LuaGL or otherwise just OpenGL directly.
