On: OBS Studio Gets a New Renderer

[jdboyd]

Metal does pre date Vulkan, and some people consider it easier to use.

[badsectoracula → jdboyd]

While Metal might be easier to use, i'm pretty sure it is still easier to have to worry about Vulkan alone than Vulkan+Metal. And Metal predating Vulkan is really only of concern to code that existed before Vulkan was made available (which wasn't that much).

[array_key_first → jdboyd]

OpenGL is easier to use than both, but we left it in the dust as it doesn't match the semantics of modern hardware.

Metal DOES... but only apple hardware.

[JimmaDaRustla → jdboyd]

Well, ya, it's a proprietary walled garden solution.

[brnt → jdboyd]

Mantle predates either, and Vulkan is based on Mantle.
