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.

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.)
