So one should not underestimate the necessary expenditure to make a development tool for tablet computers and smartphones. Implementing a backend for SFML probably is the smallest piece of the task. Every product has its own widgetset and controls where the user is familiar with. So probably it is the best to use the native API's on handheld devices with there limited resources. On desktop computers the situation is different. Yes, a SDL or SFML backend for MSEgui is a possibility. Although an OS X (Quartz) backend would be more appropriate IMO.
