Thing is, MAMEDev adding such features is not a good idea because that would just open up a whole can of worms - or bugs, in this case. Keeping things as simple as possible, in regards to the graphics department, is the best thing. We already have HLSL, which has a whole bunch of graphical options!
Besides, this is the good thing about the project being open source: If you think it needs something, you (or someone else) can add it. I'm not saying YOU should add it, but I'm saying it CAN be added by someone else. You know? That's what derivative builds are for.
