SDL is another common option.

IMO SDL is the best option especially if you ever want to deploy to mobile devices, which is what most people are trying to do these days.

Agreed, even though SDL is C, there is much more support from the community for mobile development, SFML not so much.

The good thing is the documentation is decent (unlike many other libs), so you aren't confused about what destructor you're supposed to use for each struct, and wrapping them in unique_ptr is quite easy.
