Not just feature parity, but proper UX. Things need to just work, without spending hours or days to make them work.

Blame Nvidia. They are the ones the got the industry hooked on a proprietry API.
Why would I blame NVIDIA? If it wasn't for them, we'd still only have needlessly cumbersome APIs and ecosystems. They did what Khronos always failed to do: They created something that is both easy, powerful and fast. Khronos always heavily neglects the easy part.
Blame them for being anti competitive and anti consumer.
How are they preventing the competition to create something better than CUDA? And how does it hurt the consumers that they are providing a fantastic product that others refuse to provide?
