Yes.
What OpenGL gives us (just a taste):
Cross compatibility! (MacOSX and Linux)
More options for the future. (VoxLap isn't that feature filled)
As for the things you said. Remember it is still being tested so there will be glitches, also framerate and memory issues? Where did you get that from!?! Look at it this way, your moving from a engine written when Windows 2K was a "modern" OS to a engine being written as I type. Nearly all old computers have a (crappy) GPU of some sort, this will run basic OpenGL cubes much, much faster than VoxLap. As for memory an extra couple of Megabytes but nothing noticeable, definitely no memory leaks that would actually effect performance.
One great thing is the amount of possibilities OpenGL brings! VoxLap is nice but very basic compared to OpenGL, not because OpenGL has huge amounts of features- rather it is low level. While with VoxLap lots is done for you (and can't be changed) with OpenGL this isn't the case and everything can be done how you want!
Please be better informed next time you post.
And I'm sure the "fuzziness" can be added into the new OpenGL option!
