> It's an official Khronos standard

I think that's the problem. Khronos isn't known for good UX, and being from Khronos is exactly the reason why I'm not even bothering to check it out. I want an alternative to CUDA, but I also want it to be as easy to use as CUDA.

Being from Khronos is also a reason why it might actually be usable in a decade's time, like Vulkan.

(Vulkan is from 2015 and is just recently starting to become usable.)

From a non-expert's standpoint, Vulkan feels quite unusable and complex.

From an expert's standpoint, it's still quite unusable and complex.
