Maybe OpenGL isn't that bad after all?

I guess not many take interest in the battle between DirectX and OpenGL. Some might, and for me it is part that it is cross-platform that makes it most attractive, pluss the openness of the API.

If you are of the ones interested, please read the link.

Interesting read.

I wouldn't be happy to see opengl as the ONLY ilbrary used. I think the "competition" makes both products better. It's a definite plus that one is open source. I can't see Ati or Nvidia dropping support for either because it would limit their product appeal.

Let the battle continue...... ;)

Of course competition is good. However, the battle against OpenGL is based on FUD, which in turn makes the fight a bit commercial, not user-friendly. (Hence DirectX is Windows-only.)
