[minifb](https://crates.io/crates/minifb) also allows putting a 2D buffer/image on a window in a platform-independent way. Minifb's approach to doing window management itself, however, is problematic
code duplication. We already have very high quality libraries for this in the Rust ecosystem
(such as [winit](https://crates.io/crates/winit)), and minifb's implementation of window management is not ideal. For
example, it occasionally segfaults on some platforms and is missing key features such as the ability to set a window
icon. While it would be possible to add these features to minifb, it makes more sense to instead use the standard
window handling systems.

What about [pixels](https://crates.io/crates/pixels)? Pixels accomplishes a very similar goal to Softbuffer,
however there are two key differences. Pixels provides some capacity for GPU-accelerated post-processing of what is
