Why should one use RSX 3D instead of DS3D API?

[Mikael Hagén]

After reading the RSX documentation I see no major benefit of using RSX 3D
compared to DS3D except much better software 3D support.
The API is quite different and I would say not so future safe as DS3D is.
What other benefits am I missing?
The advantage that you can run it on NT4 isn't much considering no support
for D3D exist so it's not much use for most games or other apps that uses
D3D.
Can you take advantage of extensions to DS3D like EAX from RSX 3D?
Does Intel continue to enhance RSX 3D?
If yes what new feature is planned and when will the new release be
available?
What applications or games use RSX 3D?
