OpenGL can do everything DirectX can do. Working with all the needed extensions probably is a bit more cumbersome for the programmer though. proove it. beside the "mac coolness factor". I think the need for prove is more on the ShiVa side. Never heard of it before you mentioned it.

Not sure about the feature comparison of Direct X and OpenGL.
What we have experienced is....
Direct X Platforms
PC XBOX XBOX 360 Zune (?)
OpenGL Platforms
PC PS2 PS3 PSP Nintendo DS Nintendo Wii Mac iPhone
Now it becomes a developers preference as to where they want to spend their time and energy.
Direct X is very Microsoft Centric, OpenGL offers more platform choice.
Since the main open systems for Indies is the PC, Mac, and now the iPhone. It really is a toss-up....
Agreed that most hobbiest's buying a $200 3D engine will have PC's and not Mac's. That definetly is the market 3DGS is going for, I am not so sure about Unity. Seems to me Unity is doing a good job finding biz other than the Window Hobbiest's.
Windows 3D engine land has many competitors. Bigger Pie, lot's more pigs eating at the troff...

If the Unity editor really appears on PC then it will probably rule the indie dev market.
I know of many ambitious people which bought a mac only for Unity3d. Every review I read of this tool-set left only good words. Even very experienced people with lots of coding and project experience with Torque, C4 and other tools decided to go with Unity now. There must be a reason for it.
We will see what happens in the future.

I'm still waiting for the iPhone version. I purchased an iPod Touch and a Mac Mini to do iPhone dev, but have been sitting on my lazy butt. Of course, that means learning a whole new platform. I'm comfortable with 3DGS! Also, I'm lazy. As is my butt.
