It depends. If you've already got SDL and you know it, then it makes sense to use it; otherwise GLUT is just perfectly fine if all you need is to quickly put together an app for the purposes of trying out something (being multi-platform wouldn't matter a damn in that context). Plus there is such a huge existing codebase of GLUT apps out there.
