Just to be clear, keep in mind what Kyle said at the outset. He didn't actually say Core Animation is, of itself, broken or problematic. After all, on iOS, *everything* is Core Animation, and it works great. The problem is that for 500 years (or however long it was) NextStep existed without Core Animation. It was a world of simple-minded NSViews where every NSView is responsible for its own rectangle and no more, and sibling views are not permitted to overlap (the only way to show one view "in front" of another is to make it a subview of that view). Everything that an NSView does is based on those assumptions. As Kyle said, the problem is the integration of Core Animation into that world. m.
