> For a very long time Apple's platforms were the only ones with a proper OpenCL support

I'm curious about this, since I never had a problem with OpenCL on Intel, AMD, Nvidia and am pretty sure I did with Apple in the beginning. Shipping two commercial OpenCL apps since 2010 (and they still work excellently on all of them).

Well how did you enjoy their version of NVIDIA Nsight for GPGPU debugging?

Yeah, it was mostly printf debugging, I imagine.

The drivers apparently not always that good, specially in regards to OpenCL 2.x.

Then there was zero support on Android, with Google pushing Renderscript instead.
