If only Vulkan SDK was half as good as Metal development experience, including IDE integration, proper support for managed languages, and graphical debugging and profiling experience.

That has been the main pain point of Khronos APIs, it isn't only the extension spaghetti, the first step is always to go fishing all the puzzle pieces to have a proper development experience.

At least now there is LunarG SDK, however for how long are they going to sponsor them, and it isn't applicable to Android, where Google does the minimum, a Github repo dump with samples and good luck.

Compare that with Apple Metal frameworks.
