Personally I find it annoying that Apple deprecated Carbon.  The constant 
deprecations create an annoying gerbil wheel which sucks up a lot of dev 
cycles that could be spent on far more interesting things.  

Apple's shitastic backwards compatibility policies are one of the main 
reasons I've stayed off of actually developing apps for my favorite 
platform.  It's a bag of hurt, to quote someone famous.

But Carbon apps can still render text in crisp mode.  My guess is something 
in this http://osdir.com/ml/general/2012-06/msg24720.html or in the 
subsequent formal documentation that he promises is going to have the fix. 
 Unfortunately, when I tried his suggestion of changing AppleMagnifiedMode 
to false, but it didn't change BBEdit.  For a second there, I really 
thought it was going to be that easy.
