NVidia tooling is the best among all GPU vendors.

CUDA has been polyglot since version 3.0, you get proper IDE and GPGPU debugging tools, and a plethora of libraries for most uses cases one could think of using a GPGPU for.

OpenCL did not fail only because of NVidia not caring, Intel and AMD have hardly done anything with it that could compete on the same tooling level.
