I don't have to reconcile anything, these are not my words.=20=20

I care about quality software, "highly productive" caries no qualitative as=
sessment, a lot of people are "highly productive" but produce only shit.=20=
=20

Sometimes you have to invest to ground yourself on good foundations.

> What shortcomings?
Lots of so called "modern" opengl functionality needed for high performance=
 graphics has been missing for a long time (e.g. buffer objects). Lack of b=
igarray support. Lack of shader support (no longer true but was for a long =
time). Basically a design rooted in the "old" OpenGL of the late nineties, =
OpenGL has been moving.=20=20
