I think I can concur with this - I had the "pleasure" to work with AutoCAD to get some CAD models exported so that they can be visualized in OSG and the 3D "rendering" they have in there is about the crappiest, slowest and most user unfriendly I have ever seen. Even Doom 1 in 1993 was working better than what they are selling as top-of-the-line feature now. Also, do not forget that AutoDesk was always a DOS/Windows company, they do not sell their software on anything else. I mean the original CAD stuff, not things they bought elsewhere (Maya ...). > > The disabling of small set of OpenGL features is a bit of sad case of > profittering from the ATI and NVidia, if they've decreased the > number of vendors using OpenGL and these must have features then > they've rather shot themselves in the foot, or at least shot their > OpenGL division in the foot.

Also stereo with quadbuffer - that is a feature that CAD folks use too.
