I think if you use OpenGL there's not much difference in writing
graphics code - except for some platform-dependent stuff like
initialization or interaction with windowing system. But for that there
are wrapper libraries that allow cross-platform OpenGL setup.

[I do suspect that for more advanced development on Windows better tools
may be available, e.g. glIntercept. But then, I didn't use BuGLe, so
someone who did - or even tried both GLI or BuGLe - can comment on that.]=
