The oneAPI is likely easier to install as it has less steps. As you
probably saw, after setting up the Intel repo in Ubuntu, there is only
one step "sudo apt install intel-hpckit" that will install ifort, MKL,
and intelmpi [1]. Comparing that to gfortran where you will have
multiple packages and steps for getting the equivalent functionality
(gfortran, OpenBLAS, and openmpi/ScaLAPACK) [2]. The WIEN2k developers
mostly use the Intel compilers. Thus, the WIEN2k code tends to be bug
free with ifort whereas gfortran has typically in the past had a few
bugs on new releases as it is less tested by developers though those
have been getting resolved through user bug reports.
On the other hand, the Intel compilers (e.g., Parallel Studio XE) were
not always free to use as they are currently today with oneAPI. The use
of gfortan with WIEN2k gained popularity during the time the Intel
compilers had to be paid for. One might only hope that Intel never goes
back to a pay model for their compilers. Some of the old versions of
ifort compiler were quite buggy causing WIEN2k to have memory leaks [3]
or crash, where as WIEN2k seemed more stable (without those errors) with
gfortran. I haven't seen reports of similar WIEN2k issues with oneAPI
but there might not be a large base of WIEN2k users using oneAPI yet.
The above is just based on my observations from the mailing list posts.
Finally, I suggest you choose the compiler environment that you prefer
and hopefully the above information can aid you in your decision.
