I'm curious if any actual users complain or are confused about the use
of metal? I personally have never been confused by the use of metal,
and in certain cases prefer it to all aqua windows, specifically in
iTunes though not really in Safari. I get the impression that the real
purpose of metal is that it looks cool. I'm sure there wasn't any logic
to it being introduced into Quicktime in the first place besides that.
The problem is it only looks good in moderation. Ask yourself if
Mail.app would look better in metal: the answer is no. But would iTunes
look better in aqua? Probably not. It's unfortunate that there is an
inconsistency, but it's one of those things where you lose either way.
I sure wouldn't want all metal windows, but I like it in certain apps.
I think Apple should restate the guideline in a less arbitrary way, say
all single windowed apps are metal or all non-document based apps are
metal.
