Ignore the article. I'm an OpenGL developer but I would dearly love to use Direct3D instead - Direct3D has a very nice API and is well supported on all graphics cards, while OpenGL is a mess of extensions and only works well on Nvidia GPUs (and maybe ATI). The only reason we use OpenGL is for independence from Windows.
