(Far better than GLUT in pretty much every respect.) However, there's a
pretty limited choice of accelerated OpenGL drivers for non-X targets.

Not if you need low latency and/or high bandwidth visualization and user
input. Also, not all applications have the physical space or budget for a
two computer setup.

Yes, that could work for low bandwidth communication.
