Keep in mind that I've only played with each of these, and have _not_ made a full game in them, so my opinion is highly suspect. You should probably just download each one, think of a tiny little game to make, and try to make it. Pick the framework that gets the most of your game done with the least effort.

**WARNING**: You should look in the `setup.ps1` and `reset_build.p1` files for how a build is actually configured. The most important line is at the bottom `meson setup -Ddefault_library=static builddir` which properly configures the build so that the `sfmldemo.exe` program actually runs. Without the `-Ddefault_library=static` the `sfmldemo.exe` file will not have the `.dll` files it needs and will silently fail. If it fails to start then run `start builddir` and double click on it to get the error messages. Then run `reset_build.ps1` to get a good build.
