This sentence stuck out to me, from the 'Overview' page: "Because Vulkan is so explicit about every operation and the validation layers are so extensive, it can actually be a lot easier to find out why your screen is black compared to OpenGL and Direct3D!" So Vulkan is verbose? Meh - do it once, put it in a function/class/etc abstraction of your choice. On the other hand, while I now know OpenGL well enough that I rarely have the black screen problem anymore, I've had the kind of lingering, conditioned fear of it hammered into me. I haven't spent enough time with Vulkan to witness it for myself yet but I find the above sentence encouraging.
