I dare to disagree. It's not that much of a hassle. Apart from few very 
little differences in initialization procedure between different 
controllers, drawing any small TFT is basicaly the same. Indeed, it has 
scary entry barier, but once you read controller's datasheet, it all 
becomes easy.
There is a huge difference jump when we talk about resolution higher 
than 320pix, and I haven't used them yet, but again, all of the high res 
displays also seem to share majority of the commands.

Not that I actually believe anyone else would ever make their own 
libraries. But somehow, all those available libraries were written by 
someone, so...

BTW, I'm talking only about displays with integrated controllers, better 
stay away from RGB or MIPI interfaces, that's for *real* 
microcontrollers, not the toy PICs I'm using
