No library can be perfect for everyone, and GLFW is no exception. Here are a few alternatives known to be stable:
- freeglut - A completely Open Source alternative to the OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) library with an optionally open event loop
- Simple DirectMedia Layer - A cross-platform multimedia library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL, and 2D video framebuffer
- Simple and Fast Multimedia Library - A free multimedia C++ API that provides you low and high level access to graphics, input, audio, etc.
There is also a list of alternatives to GLFW (actually alternatives to GLUT) maintained on OpenGL.org.
