How on this blue marble we call earth have you never heard of "paint by numbers"???? Seriously?
I have heard of "paint by numbers" it just doesn't make sense in the context. So if Metal isn't paint by numbers for you, then what about DX12, OpenGL, Vulkan and GNM? What features are paint by numbers for you, what are not? I don't see a difference for these APIs when it comes to "paint by numbers". Some have more boilerplate code than others. I don't see why someone would pick one API over the other unless it's for platform specific reasons or porting from A to B.
