I don't develop for Windows but saying "sane technical person" is just self selecting for UNIX users. Also 1996 was 24 years ago. DirectX has had significant overhauls where I doubt any comparison from so long ago has any merit. DirectX is very much alive. Apple has deprecated OpenGL support. Vulkan was made to be a better OpenGL as well. Also wasn't OpenGL considered too bloated for embedded devices and they created OpenGLES?
