Enjoying Vulkan so far in the recently patched Doom, which netted me a minimum 10% increase in frames per second. I really hope this gets adopted / patched into current games, and those on the horizon. Seems like a big win for cross platform development.

The problem is that Vulkan isn't so much a replacement for OpenGL as it is a library that you can use to write OpenGL in the first place, it's another layer removed, and hence requires quite a lot of work to integrate.
