But that isn't really the point, is it? One of the basic goals of Haiku R1
as I understand it, is to have BeOS apps "just run". Changing a fundamental
scheme like that is bound to break things.
Of course, if I'm writing a nice flashy new Haiku app, I'll use the
better drawing with great pleasure. And I'll also naturally eventually
get round to updating older apps, but that can't be done 'today', and
meanwhile I'm left with a somewhat broken one. It's actually only
cosmetic in this particular case, but it definitely looks a lot worse
than the original jaggy rubber bands (which one never actually noticed
as such because they only appeared fleetingly)!
