Uhuh, we're gonna toss away five years of work just so we can have prettier graphics >_>

If you're willing to recode SRB2 using your proposed engine, be my guest. Otherwise, I can assure you that this will not happen.
Do you really think it's that easy to just switch between engines? SRB2 is arguably the prettiest Sonic fangame around to begin with. It's taken the coding team 5 years to get to where they are now. Spending double that time just to switch engines is a complete waste of time. I'm sure that they'd rather spend that time adding new features to the game, or doing something else productive.
Besides, OGL is pretty enough for me. After all. don't fix something that isn't broken.

PrettySRB2 has horrible Failures when joining, I sent a complaint in To Logan and he said it's not his problem.
Probably has something to do with PrettySRB2 being Shuffle's creation, not Logan's >_>
The ONLY thing I could really want extra from OpenGL at this point is an uncapped framerate, or at least a higher cap, perhaps with some kind of linear interpolation of the various movement going on to fill in the resulting extra frames. It'd be pretty.
Of course, I'm pretty sure that subject has come up at LEAST once, and then it was stated that it wasn't gonna happen. But hell, I can dream.
That being said, if SRB2 were to hop gears to any other source port - and it won't, ever - then my vote goes to GZDOOM, plain and simple. Slopes AND FOFs, Dynamic lighting, ACS (as opposed to linedef executors), DECORATE, and tons more; aside from the utter hell that coding such a modification would produce, what's not to love?
