Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

DOSBox-X Installation and Released Packages explains:

SDL1 builds may be the default one to use, you may want to try SDL2 builds if you want certain features specific to SDL2 builds...

and also:

The Visual Studio builds are the default Windows builds to use, which include the debugger...You may also want to use one of the MinGW builds if you...

What you want

Can it elaborate why? In other words, can it describe for general purpose why is SDL1 better/safer then SDL2 and why is Visual Studio better/safer than MinGW (is it because of the debugger)?
