What's wrong with d3d12? It works perfectly fine for what it does. In my experience it causes a lot less issues than Vulkan. And it's not really due to windows not supporting Vulkan correctly, since my experience with Vulkan has mostly been on Linux.

I don't dislike Vulkan either, it's just that I don't see the point of replacing something that works pretty well.

Adopting Vulkan doesn't mean removing Direct X 12. Just like adopting spirv doesn't mean removing hlsl. No one said anything about getting rid of anything.

SPIR-V is not an alternative to HLSL. It's an intermediary format that you compile HLSL (or GLSL) to.

Reinvention of the wheel and tax on supporting "yet another thing" for developers who need to deal with it.

Same reason standards have some value.

It's Vulkan that was reinventing the DX12 wheel wasn't it though?

  In this case Vulkan is the only option. DX12 is a non starter since it was never intended to be universally available.

  DX12 is proprietary. Vulkan is not.

  Vulkan is based on Mantle, which predates the release of DX12 by about 2 years.
