In principle there's nothing stopping people from developing similarly great libraries for OpenCL, which I would on the one hand expect to happen eventually, but on the other hand it's impossible to deny the existing achievements of Nvidia's software team. What I'm hoping is that people in a similar position to mine, where I could easily choose OpenCL since I was coding everything from scratch in basically C, choose OpenCL instead of CUDA. It's completely possible in many cases, and I'm not the world's greatest developer or anything; twice I chose OpenCL over CUDA and both turned out great. Particularly the JIT model is very useful.
