I recently finished my trpg and ive been wanting to get into making actual games that people other than me would play ,a now i understand what sdl is and was wondering if its good to use i know that whatever i feel comfortable with i should use but im just thinking about how many people actually use this?
A lot. You can also see some games developed with SDL on their website, if i remember correctly.

SDL is a exactly what the acronym means. Simple Direct Layer. I prefer using plain OpenGL for my graphics, though. SDL is more useful when it comes to writing sound and input, so it's also a useful replacement for GLUT (if you find GLUT too limited).
well theres openal for sound and im always looking at new things lol,maybe when i get advanced and sdl ill go into opengl\al
