Agreed. With SDL you can get a loop that copies a 2D array of pixels from main mem to the screen every frame about as fast as possible in a single page of code. If you want to explore software rendering, that's the way to go.

SDL also gives you access to OpenGL, so you can do more with it than just blit textures.
