I've only dicked around with both for a little bit, but OpenGL is seemingly much cleaner than DirectX. (though who really writes a renderer in OpenGL now days other than Carmack? or you're targeting OS's outside of windows)

I've heard good things about Direct X 10 though, it's apparently much nicer to write than it's previous versions.

e: also, isn't that article OLD?

UnLmTd, I already read it. And I chose OpenGL. From the facts it seems much better. Haven't heard much about DirectX 10 though/

Well I never looked into OpenGl/DirectX, but aren't every new game using DirectX?

Neither is really better than the other. (though you could arguably say DX10 is the best right now) and I'm pretty sure that article is pretty damn old.

and yes, pretty much every game is now on Direct X. Carmack is probably the only one still rollin' with OpenGL. Unreal also has an OpenGL fallback for other OS's
