It was for me too when they first came out and I definitely had a knee-jerk reaction to them. But I've had to work on these displays at a bunch of my client's sites. I have to say from hands-on experience in demanding situations, it really isn't as bad as I thought, especially when the environment has well placed lighting. They do make obvious when a location has bad lighting with rear glare and the like. As so many people still need to think about upgrading to higher quality lighting and careful placement of that lighting, I think it's not such a bad thing if these displays push them in the right direction.
Still, the glass surface takes me back to my days as a commercial drum scan operator when I wore black shirts to minimize screen reflections and enhance shadow detail perception. Not a bad idea today.
As a bonus, the tempered glass also protects the LCD. Not only can people touch the screen all they like, you can apply as much force as you like when cleaning them.
Regardless, I'll probably hold out for matte versions of the Cinema displays and will continue buying matte MacBookPros as long as they are available.
