I would have thought that being the most processor intensive part of a game,
the graphics would be written low level, with the rest of the code high
level for ease of programming. That's how I'd do it anyway.

I am forced to agree with you about the other stuff Allegro provides. Though
I hate using libs, there are some features in Allegro which I am forced to
use 'cos I can't do them myself :^(

Still, can't win 'em all...
