I do remember these, but it's a worthwhile conversation to bring up every so often as tools mature and more people contribute. To be honest I know next to nothing about CUDA and GPU programming, I just see the success stories fly by. =)
Those are the only stories people like to tell, but they forget to mention that GPU implementations often need to be tweaked for each platform--and tweaks can be fairly extensive, including buffer and pool sizes, algorithm configurations etc. It is not the kind of complication I would like to deal with--but, like you say, it is good to evaluate this from time to time.
