I used to do that sort of thing too, bu the increased likelihood that desktops will *require* 3D on high-end video cards for efficient drawing has made me stop doing that. (OK, call it a certainty; when video cards drop 2D support, we'll *have* to use the 3D stuff for everything).

(The existence of the rather nice OpenGL Elite variant 'oolite' is entirely unconnected from my decision to get DRI working on my machines. Entirely.)
