I'm all for supporting Vulkan over DX 12, especially since I'm not going to be using Windows 10. I find the notion of forcing a closed API and OS over everyone rather than giving way to alternatives is a way to stifle the freedom of choice in terms of APIs.
Vulkan supports plenty of systems over DX 12 which only supports MS devices and a single OS, not their other OS's that are still within use currently. I'd much rather devs support an API that supports my current OS rather than "get with the club" type devs that want to shove you where you don't want to go.
IF that engineer wants more people to adopt Vulkan then I would hope he and the rest of the team at id hurry up and get Vulkan support for DOOM out, they promised it "shortly" after the games release and we're already into July and all they seem to care about is trying to grab what is elft of the PC crowd for their multiplayer.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
