15 years of experience.... I wish I was so young!

I've actually being using IrisGL then OpenGL since 1992, so 25 years!! :-)

As to default GL, well it's a bit of open book.  Which version of default
GL? GL1.x, GL2.x, 3.x, 4.x?  GLES 1.x. 2.x, 3.x?  What hardware? What OS?

With middleware like the OSG we're stuck trying to weave out a way through
all this variations as they evolve over time, it's not a static or unified
platform we are trying to track.   The OSG can try to hide some of the
complexities but in the end it's something application developers need to
be aware of as well.
