I'm not trolling; I'm pointing out the fault(s) in your logic. Perhaps it is a "possibility", but it doesn't exist today, and better options are available, so why would I use an inferior implementation? Because it more closely coincides with my world view?

No, I need to get software written that runs well. Now, if my requirement is to run on N different platforms (where N > 1) then I will have to look at OpenGL. If it's not a requirement then I won't waste my time. You're comments reek of ideology and completely lack practicality. You make assumptions about a complex subject which smarter people than you or I have spent years working on and come to different conclusions.

So? It's not a reason not to make one or to claim that since it "failed" everyone needs to run to platform specific APIs. That was the point.
