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.
