The documentation for implementing vibrancy in our own views is incomplete, inconsistent and hard to follow, anyway, and the sample code from WWDC 2014 is confusing and no longer works right on the final release of Yosemite. I spent way too much time trying to make vibrancy work on a relatively complex custom view, and there are still a couple of aspects of it that I can't make work right.

But I disagree that vibrancy should be avoided. The few views that were semitransparent in Mavericks and earlier were worse, because I could make out the words showing through the view -- just enough to tempt me to read them. The application switcher (Command-Tab) comes to mind. Now, with vibrancy, there is no longer any temptation to try to read them.
