You know what's worse than CUDA or OpenCL? General purpose algorithms implemented in a graphics API. I read a lot of GPGPU papers at the university, and I could never understand the older ones, that described algorithms by mapping everything to graphics elements, and computed the solutions as a side-effect of rendering something. Next to that, undestanding an algorithm implemented in CUDA is a breeze.
