As Steve said, SDL is worthless when it comes to 3D. And on the other
hand SDL is a low level C-API, that ok and using SDL is a good choice,
but what if you want a higher API level? ClanLib for example is a high
level C++ libary for 2D and (in the future)also 3D games. BTW. has SDL
joystick support, as far as I can see it only has mouse support?

SDL is a good lib when it comes to low level 2D C stuff, but its not
perfect and when it comes to C++ there are IMHO better choices.
