There are only two worries I'd have with this move, both of which are posed, I acknowledge, from a position of relative ignorance:
1. We'll lose all the work done in SDL, right?
2. Forcing the average user to load a bunch of external programs. It took me awhile to get comfortable with open-source software, coming from a Win32 background. Loading TCL/TK, in the case of XConq, or GTK in the case of Gimp, while pretty standard fare for a Linux user, is very intimidating for someone used to loading a single piece of software to run on Windows. So if it can all be packaged as a single install and be relatively seemless, this isn't a big deal, but otherwise, it'll be an added hurdle for an audience that is notable hurdle-adverse.
