Your still using frameworks like Open GL though right ?

I think this ultimately depends on if you want to ship or not. I think Unity is the best option for most people due to its ease of use. But I also respect wanting full control, sometimes Unity feels like a magic black box.

Best pray the black box does what you want.

Correct. OpenGL, Vulkan and libs like SFML, SDL, Allegro are some of the choices that people like me use. Of course there are million media frameworks with bindings for a lot of languages. You can do whatever you want really.

And I'd agree with you. I think of the 3 engines I wrote about in my original comment Unity is by far the most painless to work with and I like the UI of the engine itself the most.

OpenGL is not a framework. It's a standardised relatively low level API for graphics programming.
