I think the biggest takeaway from WebRender is that a vector rendering API is generally overkill for UI. You mostly just need a fast blitter, plus some specialized code to prerender assets (fonts, border pieces, etc.) and a handful of shaders for special effects.

I don’t think this picture even changes much for 3D UIs. Vector rendering is overkill; just cache tiles at various mip levels. That said, some important assets *are* vectors—fonts, SVG, etc.—and you need a library like Pathfinder for those.
