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

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). | ||

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. | ||

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

Mantle predates either, and Vulkan is based on Mantle. | ||
