For me personally DSA was an improvement, but not enough. I wish NV_command_list made it to core one day, amongst other things it introduced a concept of a "state object" which captures all the state and can be easily captured/restored. I have moved on however towards the DX12/Vulkan like APIs. Currently using WebGPU as a stop-gap, it gives me an easy to use API (compared to Vulkan) with strengths of those explicit APIs. I think in 2021, even if people are writing OpenGL engines, they are already using the "RenderPipeline/RenderPass" abstraction to fit the new APIs better.
