starshipeleven i was clearly being sarcastic

not clear enough

From what I've read, Vulkan is easier than OpenGL to implement, make performant, and ensure correctness because it is such a thin abstraction and has a small API surface. The API may be harder, but even with OpenGL, people were using frameworks, so why not continue using frameworks and benefit from optimizations that a low level API offers.

Plus, you can implement OpenGL-over-Vulkan once and share it between all the Vulkan drivers. (In theory, without having to change a single line of code though, in practice, I anticipate workarounds for driver bugs would probably wind up getting written.)
