Not so.
Apple use OpenGL and 3D effects and there is no way that can be
considered a failure.. just look at the stock price....
After venturing into 3D a little... now I really love it....
There's so many subtle ways of using opengl in user interfaces that it
is a mind blow...
Tied with xml or whatever other markup you want, it could be made to
do some really neat things...
