The Vulkan development process is very different from OpenGL. It's a significant improvement so it's not fair to make this judgement. There is significant evidence: The quality of the API, the number of platforms supported within the first 12 months of publication, the availability of source code and documentation on GitHub (including allowing contributions). These are all things which are far better than the equivalent DX model, and also, in comparison, OpenGL.

None of that directly impacts Vulkan driver implementation quality (which is not open source at all).
