I don't have to reconcile anything, these are not my words.
I care about quality software, "highly productive" caries no qualitative assessment, a lot of people are "highly productive" but produce only shit.
Sometimes you have to invest to ground yourself on good foundations.

Lots of so called "modern" opengl functionality needed for high performance graphics has been missing for a long time (e.g. buffer objects). Lack of bigarray support. Lack of shader support (no longer true but was for a long time). Basically a design rooted in the "old" OpenGL of the late nineties, OpenGL has been moving.
