The problem with the open standards is that their dev UX is absolutely horrible. You can't neglect usability, and then be surprised that there are no users.

This is at the core of the matter for me, and my knowledge is too weak to understand why this is the case. I don't enjoy the idea of relying on Nvidia's stack for GPU compute, but the alternatives I've tried (e.g. Vulkan compute) are higher friction to use. I am trying to reconcile why; Nvidia shouldn't have this moat.

My software is labeled "CPU only unless using an nVidia GPU". I would prefer to strikethrough "nVidia". Incidentally, this means no more Mac support.
