Definitely. It has just one HUGE disadvantage compared to QD - all the
really powerful & interesting APIs are still private.
<RANT> Indeed, keeping the Quartz APIs private is one of the biggest
bone-headed moves yet; another prime example of the short-sighted,
shoot-yourself-in-the-foot imbecilic behavior we have all come to love
from a company that does not seem to care about increasing market share.
I guess they're afraid that someone will use Quartz to come up with
something that's actually valuable, thereby reducing the lickability of
the gee-whiz "genie effect." <end rant>
