We've had resolution independence build in to the OS for years. But it was never actually used because many applications didn't handle fractional scale values correctly. I thought the move to @2x (like in iOS) was a way around that problem.

I really don’t think that’s the way it’s done. It would produce a lot of scaling artifacts when the scale wasn’t exactly 2x, and I just don’t see those kind of artifacts on my screen. (For example, thin lines wouldn’t have consistent widths because they’d sometimes round to n pixels wide and sometimes n+1.)

In any case, this is the wrong list to be debating this on. Cocoa-dev would be more appropriate.
