What are the Gotchas and Issues I should be aware of with SFML?

Question

I've been using SDL for a while to prototype small things and to learn more about graphics programming.

Then I saw SFML and wanted to give it a try, saw that it was more object oriented and fixed some issues I felt SDL had.

But since I know little about the library itself, what are it's main flaws and other issues that I should be aware of?

Currently I'm liking it, good tutorial and most things just seem to work.

The biggest issue that has ever affected me is the crash involving the default font when ending a program. This is a fairly well-known bug that you can read about in the SFML forums. As far as I know, this bug is fixed for the 2.0 version of SFML but not for 1.x versions.

For other bugs (along with feature requests), you can check out the SFML Roadmap.
