Allegro or SDL?

I have one in mind, but I just want to see you're opinions. ^^

I also have a few questions:

Is Allegro only for C?
Which one is easier to learn?

Thanks

From what I have heard SDL does not support multi windows and just for that I would go for Allegro. But then again I have no idea if Allegro supports multi windows or not.

Thanks for the quick reply, but does Allegro only use C, not C++?

Ok, I'm going to Allegro.

Here is the thing SDL is a more efficient and more powerful library then allegro , but allegro is a tad bit easier. Allegro does infact support C++ you just use Classes not a big deal.

Sorry for double posting, didn't notice...

Was that an opinion, or fact?

Do any of you know what graphics library Ragnarok Online was made in? I REALLY REALLY want to know.

Thanks

I think it might've been written in straight DirectX, but I'm not sure.
